This car is gonna smoke a miata on the auto x...first of all it's got a lower center of gravity and it's got more power and a better power to weight ratio.
Hell the FRS/BRZ is about 75 to 100 pounds lighter than a s2000.
I think this car is gonna surprise a bunch of people. It's not a big heavy car. If you think about it, it's one of the lightest rwd 2+2 out there.
We just got to see one on a dyno to really see how much power it really has.
Just because Toyota/Subaru says it has 200ps does not mean it may dyno much higher. They may have underrated the engine output.
Read this to see how Honda underrated the engine in the 2004 s2000
