Sie spinnen nicht! No power for you!". A tiny chirp and you have to wait a painful 3 seconds while the flashing light tells you off and you sit there looking like a fool.

It takes IC 3 years to figure out what car he wants. It only makes sense that he shifts are slowowowow. I bet he's a Rebecca Black fan:

Shifting into fourth gear, shifting into third gear, which gear should I take?

It's redline, redline, shifting gears at redline....

No, it sucks balls. Get 0.1% of slip or the tiniest bit of wheelspin and it just locks you down like an anchor. So to experience driving it you have to turn it off, which causes the ones lacking talent to crash into the nearest church.

Exactly.

IC, you should see if you can get a solo test drive to experience what Chris is talking about.

How good are the OEM Bridgestones on the Sport models? Should I just set them aside for some PS2's?

/\ if they're anything like the oem tires on the nismo, then yes, they're not very good at all, at least on track. On the street, well, if you drive "normally" just about any tire will work there.

The NISMO uses a completely different brand of tire.
