Oh well, it is what it is. I'm just bitter my wallet is a lot lighter and I'm not having nearly as much fun with my car. I'd be interested in your perspective on this after you drive the FR-S on RE71r's. I think you're going to get what I'm talking about, but maybe not. Please let me know if I'm being ridiculous.

I can appreciate this explanation more than the previous, given you feel limited by the quality of shocks from car to car and the associated finances. Hope you make it to nationals regardless, the more the merrier in my book, especially for top level competitors.
