I've instructed a couple guys in FRS/BRZ and I've been very impressed with the car.

True enough.

What would you turn faster lap times in: a Mini, a BRZ or a 370Z?

It might depend on which model Mini and 370z. A 370z with sport would be fastest because, brakes, LSD and better tires but a JCW Mini could be a good fight for a non sport 370z.

you're suppose to include RWD somewhere in there cause our cars are RWD.
RWD cars are automatically faster than ANY FWD cars. they have proof.

you forget about the cobalt SS turbo my friend, they may be FWD but they are very quick handling for a FWD car
