I’ve always been into smaller sports cars. For me it was a Vega GT followed by an Opel GT. And now I have the FR-S.
But visiting my son in Tacoma a few months ago, he wanted me to drive his new mustang. It is a pretty much fully tricked out version with a manual.
It was an exhilarating rush, pure and simple. I LOVED the experience.
Problem is, you can’t really enjoy it - legally.
Where I live, there are a lot of twisties with a 55 speed limit and no cops. A car with reasonable handling and good tire is an amazing rush on these roads. I’ve cornered so hard that I’ve made myself nauseous.
On a side note, I just got my Michelin Pilot Super Sports and drove in the rain on my way home yesterday. Their dry traction is almost as good as the Bridgestone RE11’s, but their wet traction is mind blowing. I had to push it like I do on dry pavement to get them to break loose. I don’t know what they put in those tires, but that was the most amazing wet road driving experience I’ve ever had.
