It looks like the FR-S 2800 lbs will be totally eclipsed by the upcoming Miata's 2200lbs and possible turbo 4. They are guessing the Miata will have 150hp. If Mazda is smart? It will have 170hp. that would be enough to blow the FR-S out the water on the track.

Cool list.

Z is probably not on it because there are so few details and the details that nissan has shared have not been that great.

They like Nissan well enough, but Nissan isn't paying them enough to praise the Z. They're directing their marketing funding towards the new Altima.

I bet nissan used all their marketing dollars on the GTR.

It didn't really set lap records, they paid for that too.

lol you don't have to market the car when the numbers market themselves.

But the Z was never going to set lap records.

Heck, can you explain why the FT86 is the media's darling? I mean, I like the car, but you read a few articles on it, and you'd think it was God's own gift to the car enthusiast...

And it's numbers are FAR from impressive. It's more expensive, slower, and less practical than hot hatches in the same segment. It's a hard-top Miata. But the magazines say it's so wonderful.
