^ He wasn't just drifting. That's a very technical course. You're not getting around it smoothly in an
'underpowered' car -- an indictment that's meant to make the claim that its HP is insufficient for its weight and handling.
No the car is not going to do all the work for you. I'm not suggesting that you are making this claim, but that seems to be the new benchmark for power these days: "it doesn't "feel" fast". A Boxster Spyder with zero engine mods or exhaust, only suspension upgrades, doesn't feel extremely fast and isn't winning any drag races but guess what? TC Kline's example still outlapped all the modified 997 GT3s at Laguna. It's plenty powerful in the right hands. There are many 'sporty' cars today that may win a drag race but take them to the track and they aren't so brilliant.

I'm just surprised we haven't seen a car like the FRS sooner. Whoever said a Cayman had to be expensive?
