Default FRS vs RX8 vs S2000

I was on youtube and came across this video. It was uploaded today and as the title states, it compares the FRS, RX8 and S2k.

Just wanted to share with you guys

Getting into an S2000 after driving an FR-Z/BRZ is like a different world. The RX-8 is way more fun than the FR-S as well in my opinion, it is fun to drive, but the engine is awful. Not because of how much power it has, just the lack of response. No one is even close to building an engine that is even worth comparing to Honda's in this price range.

That video sucks. Two car dweebs who have read way to many dweeby car magazine articles..

"You really have to rev the engine to get the power" NO. SHIT.

It's funny that the S2000 gets put up against many newer model cars even though prodution is no more. Makes me think the ones putting these videos together might be somewhat biast but hey...If the S2k wins I won't complain.

I did find it strange that the FRS's at the track weren't a bit more on the competative side with all the S2k's out there. Yeah they might have never been to a track before but I'd like to get in one and have some fun and see what they're all about.

Stock track times seem pretty good for the FRS from what I've seen.
