Turbowski actually likes 911 GT3, 911, C6/C7, M3. But he works on crap so much nothing excites him. He'd rather drive and race than talk about them and work on them. He does actually like the S2000 and FRS just does not show it.

Haha all he did was send me pics of Chryslers today to guess which ones they were.

I've been considering getting rid of my FR-S to get an S2k for a while now.
Couple of questions:
1). You mentioned the power steering was night and day different. Does this mean the 86 provided more feedback? Any elaboration?
2). Does the addition of traction control and drive by wire add or detract significantly from the driving experience on the street? I was aiming for 07/08, but maybe I need to go older if it makes a large enough difference.
3). Did you goto Shigeru's house and interview him? Because that's awesome. (humor)
Thanks!

1.) The FRS steering rack feels almost like a manual rack compared the the S2000, very direct and you get a sense of weight from it and some feedback. S2000 is numb, almost same rack they used in the 2000 Honda Insight first generation unit, not very refined.
2. I hate the traction system on the FRS. It has 3 modes:
A. Prison Mode. B. County Jail Mode C. Probation Mode D. Off with ABS Oddities.
3. Shigeru is in mansion somewhere in space, I had to use stock footage.
