i was running 205/50-15 sumitomos that aren't made anymore. I'm actually quite surprised of how much it was leaning in the corners...it didn't feel nearly that much!!

I had a few cars that were fun to play with, a CRX (with about 3gs in suspension work), a few stockish Miatas, an FB rx7, & something else that were all close matches.

The car was such a blast to drive...I don't think i would had nearly as much fun (or attention at that matter) in my Tercel...even tho it should clip the corners at a faster speed

If you were hanging with the Miatas, even green group Miatas, and a rex, it's no wonder you got bumped up and people are talking.

The Sumi's weren't the htrz 2, were they? I've been curious about those tires.

The xB weighing only ~2,500lbs is really helpful in corners.
You probably had one of the lightest out there besides the little 2 door CRX.
