The BRZ's stock suspension can clearly handle sticky street tires. Whereas cars like the 328 and Mustang felt unsettled with high performance tires, the BRZ chassis was "happy as a clam" (according to Randy) on the RE11's. Good to know as I've been thinking of making the move to similar tires.

Surprised the BRZ's laptimes didn't improve much with the max performance summer tires, even though subjectively they felt more responsive/grippy. I know I personally felt my FR-S was a lot quicker on the track/autocross on max performance tires, although my baseline was all-season BS Turanzas and not Primacys.

Lastly LOVE Randy's quote about the BRZ when he was finished lapping it. If I remember correctly, he had ranked it second in MT's Best Driver's Car competition.
