Being able to charger harder into the corner is not understeer...having it push if you come into the corner too hot isn't understeer either...its the driver over driving the corner. |

I owned and raced both an AP1 and AP2. The change for the 86 sounds to be along the same lines. What many of u lose sight of is driving style/preference. The '15 is not faster around the track for all people. Only faster for those that it suits the driving style more. I prefer oversteer and i race. Most of u will never use the car in a 10/10's manner so u will never really notice. Basically they dumbed the car down for lesser skilled drivers.

It is not the "older" crowd that is crashing the FR-S.

I'm sure driving a 2015 is just as engaging, but I feel like the FRS's ability to get a little more tailhappy is what really set it apart from the BRZ. Now, I don't see any reason for someone to buy a FRS unless you despise the mustache on the BRZ.
I guess you want the car to feel more precise on the track, but for daily driving I feel like the FRS has the perfect amount of oversteer to put a smile on your face. |

Maybe insurance companies don't appreciate tail happy driving and more stable might lower insurance price.

Well whatever anyone thinks the facts are that Tsada saw that the car needed some suspension change. Retuned shocks, larger bolts, etc. So what's wrong with that?
Most likely buyers remorse for some who say these changes are nothing special. If the chief engineer made the changes then he did it for the customer joy of the car. Sounds like the my '15 will be an enjoyable car for me. |
