Think back to 1999-2000. How many teenagers got into accidents in a Honda Civic Si? You know, the one with FWD and 160 hp. Now switch it to RWD and add another 40 hp along with the ability to oversteer really easily. Stuff can still happen, and I don't think 16 year-olds these days are magically better at responding to the rear end stepping out than they were years ago. What are they going to do if that happens (and it will, otherwise they likely wouldn't care for an FR-S/BRZ)? Hit the brakes.
