Saw an fr-s on the road today...

I'm so envious of everyone with FR-S's around in their cities already. I've yet to see one in real life.

I don't think reviewers are referring to the grip when they praise the FR-S on its handling. Grip isn't that good on it since it has thin tires and harder rubber. This makes it a lot more forgiving to drive at the limit though. Reminds me of one video where some guy fitted an AMG car with donuts on all four corners which made it a breeze to drive at the limits instead of snapping out when you pass them, like our Z's tend to do.

I'd like to add that the only angle I don't like on the car is the rear. Like Unknown said, it looks unfinished to me. Might be because of the angular fog light area?
