Enough with the suggestions for my own personal improvement.

I have pointed out and remain of the opinion that wider or bigger wheels are not better for this car.

I have cited decisions made by the factory, who you will have to admit know exactly how to modify their own cars and have done so. Subaru/Toyota fit 18x7.5 optional wheels in some markets. They fit 225/40x18 tires to those wheels. Is nobody wondering how they decided to do that?

I cited a real world test by road and track who found that the stock sized tire on a stock diameter wheel was quicker than the larger tire on the wider wheel.

So many posters on this forum actually know very little about what they are talking about and think that by attacking someone personally, or using juvenile insults that they are correct. Well, newsflash, most of you are completely wrong and do not understand what you're doing, why you're doing it or why it has the effect on your cars that it does.

I, on the other hand, am posting from decades of experience about modifications I researched thoroughly and implemented one by one so I know for sure what effect each modification achieved.

In the result I have modified my car to be just about perfect for very fast road driving year round in all weather.

It is no coincidence in my opinion that the 2017 factory car is very like my car, but without the Supercharger.

Now if anyone has some facts to establish that anything the factory and I have done wrong, fire away.
