And frankly, that wasn't fun to me. Thrilling? Yes. But not fun.

I don't feel the need for more power to have fun, even with lots of grip. Most of my curve speeds are at or below my normal straight cruising speed, so throttle input is minimal.

something is wrong with your car then because it should have a front roll couple of over 60%

i love controlable grip. predictable, safe and fun. I am also not planning to auto x or play mr drift on the street. a track day for fun perhaps but could care less about my numbers. merge onto the freeway at 2 am maybe and canyons probably not. 225/45/17 for me stock offset of course

225/45-17 Conti DWS on Enkei RPF-01 all year long.

For me Nitto NT01 235/40 all round on lightweight one piece forged 17" Rays.

well the car was well behaved with low grip tires, i wanna see what this thing does with grippy tires, i may not be able to drift but damn will it corner :D

Indeed. With the right set-up this thing will have crazy levels of grip.

it actually looks very composed and balanced right out of the box when the drivers aren't just chucking it all around. can't wait to drive one on track.
