Perhaps a stone got jammed into the grooves in the tire tread? Was it a higher pitch sound like something hard hitting cement or pavement? Or was it a low thumping noise?
If the sound went away, then I would say you had some foreign object stuck or caught momentarily somewhere. Things that make thumping noises that are part of the car tend not to go away.. If the noise continued, I would blame loose lug nuts, out of balance tire, bad alignment, a tire out of round, etc.. But none of those things would simply go away, so I wouldn't stress about it. |

It was a low thumping.
Speaking of out of balance wheels, one of my wheels has a shload of balancing weights. I'll post a pic when I get home.

It was probably a pedestrian that never seen the FR-S before and grabbed on. You must have lost him when you made the turn. Poor guy!

I'm too afraid of other people with more car than skill to go to the track. I also have a fear of trees just off the track.

So this happened to me a couple of times. Once it was 3 times ask on a row... driving on highway at ~55mph. Heavy vibration and rumbling noise. Stopped, nothing wrong that I could see. Started driving, no noise. About a mile later, noise and vibration return, stop again. Nothing wrong, restart, no noise or vibration. Few miles later, noise and vibration return, no stop this time. Went away in a couple miles. Never did figure it out
