The STI driver has no excuse for losing.
exactly! i mean, yes the chassis was revised since the 08-10 models, but nothing that some sway bars and a proper spring can do. the dunlops are poop i'm sure he def made more grip than the fr-s. he does not have an excuse, which is why i blame this on driver error. i would think that the sti would take the fr-s. but a stock sti is pretty bland off the showroom floor. 305 horses feels like 225.
