2:07 bypass, bone stock? Possible if you have a really good driver in the right conditions, but not something easily done repeatedly. Thill really favors high hp, which isn't the 86's strong suit....

No way. Your alignment must have been screwed up or the tires were screwed up to wear out OEM tires on 11k street miles.
