Sorry about the 80mph full lock full throttle cold tire slide . I wanted you to see how my car handles/feels different than the ”standard” triplet. You ok? (you did have a big smile after the ride along...:-)

Sorry for not getting around to meet everyone! I was running on 2 hours of sleep + juggling logistics for FT86Cup + coaching people (first come first serve) + helping our sponsored driver set up his car + (everything else i'm forgetting)

Bedtime now...

Mike it was great meeting you and thanks for showing me the lines in my BRZ and giving my sister a ride in the s2000. Im really considering pads, fluids, lines at the moment. Can you pm me where in OC your shop is located at? Thanks.

robispec is maniacal, nobody gets out of his ride alongs the same they went in

I think robi's style is balls > grip lol.
@CSG Mike you said the fastest stock frs timing is 2:06? Or did you mean modified frs on stock tires?

Heh, I didn't realize we were going that fast.

I think you accomplished that as well as demonstrating some impressive car handling skills. I'm good, thanks again for the ride along.

No problem. I didn't push the car so nothing to worry about.

I had a blast. I have a newfound respect for the FR-S with the 6AT. This is probably the most intuitive automatic transmission Toyota has ever put in any car. Even more so than the IS F's transmission which I used to own.
