Also, the nurburgring race proved that the FR-S is competitive with the S2000, even if it is down on power. So not all of it is speculation.
modified i guess but i think it really boils down to what we each consider race cars. in my opinion a race car is something that isnt daily driven and isnt street legal. saying a car is a race car because of an in its name is just wrong. i think we can both agree that the matrix xrs isnt a race car. either way i just dont think this car is going to have as hard an edge as the honda. i guess well wait and see
