+1 on this!

There are a lot of decent (but short) routes around my house where I get to enjoy running "9.5 mph over" the posted speed limits where others run significantly under it because of the curves.

My problem is when I get in our "family" vehicle (2004 Suburban ZL1) and forget I'm not in the FR-S in those curves! I drifted the Suburban around a tight turn last night that I took at FR-S speeds. Don't think I'll do that again!
