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!
the thing is im not sure that stuff matterst too much. my ls430 has a lower cd if you consider that a huge factor which i dont. i would rather have my car be hundreds of pounds lighter than shave off a couple millimeters of the cog but if you arent buying that im pretty sure the fatcat motorsport and the nhtsa, the cog of the na miata to be 447 mm so no the miata doesnt wish it had a cog that low
