FR-S vs S2000

According to the ACS website, the front straight banking is 11º, turns 1-2 is 14º, and ends up to 3º banking just before turn 3 which is a ~130mph to ~40mph speed drop. Personally, I only had about a few laps out for myself and I had to quickly learn the track layout (it was my first time on that track). Some modified S2000s with a big wing, splitter, and some perfect drafting have hit 135mph+ on that roval. It's actually pretty amazing for what the BRZ/FRS can do out of the box.

No highway. I have a short (0.25 mi) stretch that goes up to 45 mph speed limit. If that counts, then 98% city. Still impressive either way.

My highway miles were all flat (midwest) and not very crowded. Crusing at 78 mph with the top down usually gets me around 27 mpg

Yea, that would make sense. I was about 80% highway. I did not do too much city driving. I think that's where the car lacks a bit in MPG's, and can be annoying because of the torque thing, well for us AP1 guys. The AP2's I heard are better, but I have yet to drive one.
