Easy to see (or to me) the difference in suspension between the brz and frs

Without being there to see the times for those laps and the approach, the difference there could more easily be explained by how the driver approached the corner.

Indeed but I was there and able to see it all in action....and driving mine. I definitely hit a lot of understeer when I pushed the car. Have a ton of photos from my gf. I ran faster in my brz than they did, but I'm also more experienced.

Crazy to see that the twins make up for 10% of the cars there. More than any other car.
Y'all can start running STX for a better pax. If you care about that.

Ordered the nameless muffler delete today. Going to pick up a motorcycle battery to run for events. Have the material to do a DIY intake, and sound tube delete. All that should knock off close to 50lbs in race trim!

After about 5 weeks I finally have a new tail light with no condensation!

Props to Lakeside Toyota, they had my car maybe 1.5 - 2 hours and it was ready for pickup

Anybody having wear issues with their seat. The side bolster already has a hole starting in it where I hit it getting in the car.

I had a feeling that would happen with the seats. I try so hard to be careful getting in and out but when I'm in tight spots its awkward.

Brought it to the dealer and some guy in a suit came out and took about 10 pics, but have not heard anything back from them yet. I have 3k mi. What's it going to look like at 30k?

Just wondering if this is anyone on here. I saw him on the way home from work, clean and has matte-black emblems!
