No offense but the search feature really sucks you can't always find the stuff that you're looking for.

In Google type:
site:ft86club.com <then what you want to search>

It's much better than the forum search
(Remove <> and what's inside with your search query)

But I mean come on, I've power-slid and gotten sideways in stupid fast trucks with welded rears and spools around those "15mph" +90º turns (only out in the country, never too stupidly. lol). And that's in front heavy, top heavy, more power than anyone needs kind of trucks. I'm just curious because this is the best balanced road-hugging'est car on rails I've ever owned...
The car is fine. It just happens to be a well balanced RWD car. All some people have ever driven are understeering pigs like front end heavy V-8 coupes with RWD or worse yet FWD cars of any sort. A proper RWD car with close to half its weight in the rear (such as the FR-S) can be driven aggressively without any computers, as has been done with decent sports cars for ages.
