How well does the power hold going up-hill? Haven't had a chance to try that out yet, living in florida and all.

I took mine up to Radford, VA this past year, had no issues, but insane quantities of fun driving around the mountains up there.

After the second week I owned it, I took mine out to a massive new neighborhood that is under construction. Only like two houses had been started and there were tons of freshly paved twisty roads everywhere. Some were hilly, others were flat. My buddy and I took my car out, turned off the nannies, and had a blast. I am 42 but it made me feel 19 again....

Sliding the rear around after rain; the stock tires allow for low speed fun. Never had so much fun going 10mph in my life.

After break in period was done, on my way to work one day. I was taking a left turn a bit harder than usual and feeling the back kick out just put a big smile on my face. I said to myself out loud: "F*cking Rear wheel Drive!"

Two weeks down the left coast and back. Sweet.

4.5g of shrooms makes your dash wave at you FYI.

This is the kind of fun/madness I have w/ the car regularly... The car is FANTASTIC to drive @ its limits!

Cruising and drifting with other cars.

Hi R.S-HawK ......

The FR-S does quite well going up hill, as long as you keep it in the "right" gear ....

.

For a comparison, I'd like to have the opportunity to take er up hill on the gravel section of Pikes Peak, like I did my Miata (see picture) ...... but they went and paved it .....

.

Here is another vid of going "up" hill. Not real "thrilling", cause mrs humfrz was along ..... slowing me down ...
