mag comparisons have never been kind to the Z anyway. That isn't news. It's a blast in a straight line and has incredible grip, but you'd never know it to read the rags.

Among the best balances of handling and power on the market.

BRZ/FRS/Miata is handling without the power. Camaro SS is power without the handling. Mustang might be the only faster car that handles nearly as well in the price range, but I like the Z just as much.

dont pay attention to the mag. The guy who posted drives a BRZ and theres no BRZ in that comparison.

Lols.

anyway. The FRS would be the most fun cus its easy to hit its limits... that being said its limits are reached too early.. so its not actually quick.. or fast..
In the same way a Geo Metro is fun cus of reaching its limits. Hrmm the frs is just a slightly larger Metro i just realized.

Right-on. the original MR-2 and early Honda CR-Z were kind of fun to drive as well.

I think Mini Cooper is probably a closer comparison, but the Mini is probably faster with the extra power

I do like the dip in torque before VTEC!

Mustangs are automatically disqualified in my book, solid rear axles are FAIL! There is a reason no one else uses them on their sports car.

And even with a sra they can still beat you around a track! Oh my.

Wait... I thought whenever you post I'm supposed to "know what's up" and cower in fear like all those other 5.0s that see you on the road, apparently.

No mustangs are disqualified because they can't turn. Everyone knows that
