Default Went to the FR-S ride and drive this morning...

Got to watch Ken Gushi drift the heck out of the car, that guy is amazing!! We got to drive 3 different courses on the track and I was amazed at how well that car handles!!

They were all automatics and going from full VSC/traction control on to the sport mode and then with everything off is a huge difference.

I was blown away at how hard you could attack the corners in the sport mode without losing complete control. Then turning everything off and driving the same way and finding the rear end getting away from you.

For 26K you are getting one heck of a car!!! If you want to do autocross, this is going to kill!!!

No one is going to complain about more power, but I think it's fine just the way it is.
