The engine in the new one is apparently underrated. The spec sheet shows only 25 more crank HP, yet they are all consistently dynoing 45whp more than the older ones. They also make more tq and the peak is much lower so there is a wider powerband.

i had a '14 FRS back in the day and do miss it.

i really want to test drive a new one but they are snapped up from the dealer before they even arrive. They do put down really good numbers. road and track got 228 whp on their dyno. its essentially the power to weight ratio of an e46 m3. (275whp / 3400 lbs vs 228whp / 2800 lbs)
