Many people who drive other cars asked me whether my FRS is fast or not.

I just said 'no, but the best car Iv ever driven' to make them confused.
Something I told them that I drove mustang, M3, X6M, 350z and Shelby. They are faster at corner or at straight line, but do not hav as much fun as this car does. That will make them more confused sometime.

IMO this car is not designed to be fast, EVEN AT CORNER. However, you can make it faster by getting more power and wider tires. I might not do that, I have 225 square tires now and I think thats the widest for me.

Many people told me that 86 is fast at the corner. Iv drive mustang(a little bit cheaper), it does not handle as well as FRS. Its of cause faster at straight line. Also, maybe because of wider tires, Im kinda surprised that I dont feel its slower even at most non-aggressive corners(Probability it is).

Iv also driven M3. It more expensive and faster at corner or straight line, but I think it grip a little too well at corners.
