No one has mention this car being better than a Mx5 only saying it's a close match. In this day and age most sport coupes have stiff chassis already like when Hyundai made their coupe 25% more rigid than a e46 M3. Hell even my RSX is very stiff already. And about people only prioritizing weight? You must have missed a few threads where people were saying if the FRS is over 2800 lbs they could care less how it handles and they won't buy it. You might not be one of them but they clearly exist on this site.
I respectfully disagree regarding the importance of the boxer.

Saying low weight is required != saying low weight is the only priority.
