The added rolling resistance going from Primacy tires to ECS to MP4S is so small, you will not notice any lag in acceleration. But you may see a dip in fuel economy.

NDs are beasts on RE71s alone. But once you remove that body roll and go into STR (or A mod for PITL) and it's even more beastly on another level.

People that say the car is slow clearly never been to a track or autocross before. Plenty of fast cars with low horsepower. Especially civics, miatas, and now the frs/brz twins

Even though the FR-S ain't no drag car, taking it to a track, any kind of track is better than hard parking it. Doesn't matter if it's drag strip, autocross or road course.
