Remember the only two cars who have a lower center of gravity are the LFA and the ferarri 458.

Oh and don't forget the cd is .27...the miata and s2000 wish they had a cd and a cog as low as the FR-S!
Uh of the cars stated that's true. GT3s are lower, GT3RS are lower and I'm sure if we check the numbers we'll find other cars that are lower also. They picked a few cars to show some that are lower and some that are higher.

Car and Driver lists it now but I don't think anyone has compiled a list of them, at least 30 seconds of google searching didn't find one.
