so you never break the speed limit or something???

it sucks driving a fast car car slow because the car is so capable that you as the driver feel like you aren't doing anything at normal-ish speeds. And when you do start driving it at 70-80% of what it can do you are going so fast that 1) you are gonna get cocky,push it even harder, and likely die or 2) go to jail.

When i'm pushing the FRS im doing maybe 15-20 over the limit. When i push it a bit more than what it likes it gives a nice progressive slide. ill take that or a ticket any day over the above two scenarios.
