The numbers a particular car produces often way over rates it's overall value is terms of being a great sports car. There are multiple examples which prove precisely this.

If you want a good idea of how good / bad a particular car is you obviously need to drive it. The numbers will give you an idea of how fast / slow the car is but that's about it.

If the 0-60, 1/4m, skid pad, slalom #'s, etc. was all there was to the value of a sports car there would be no need for reviews, test drives or anything. You'd just buy the car that produced the best #'s for the money and be done with it.

Far more important reviews are the "Best handling / Best Driver's car" reviews. These type of test / reviews reveal how the car actually drives, feels from behind the wheel, connects with the driver, etc. The subjective qualities that actually matter are revealed.

With that said I'll guarantee the BRZ / FR-S will finish far ahead ALL of the merely more powerful / faster cars in its segment (EVO X possibly being one exception as far as handling) and most above. In other words the cars will excel in the areas that actually matter not so much the #'s.
