I put Michelins on all of my cars; summer tires and winter tires. Love that brand. Let’s hope the Goodyears are well developed so I don’t have to bin them and replace with SuperSports(S4S)!

Nah, you’ll be fine once you’ve driven it a bit and crept up on its limits. You shouldn’t be driving 10/10ths on the street anyway. All cars are about weight transfer. You have to understand it and feel it. Get the weight transfer right and you won’t accidentally lose the rear end. Too little...

I also had an STi- a 2004 WRC Blue with gold wheels. Bought it brand new and loved it for 150k miles. I’m also a former 911 owner, and owned the last gen to have hydraulic steering. I can tell you that the weight balance of the Emira (and Evora) is closer to a 911 than to a Boxster/Cayman. That...

Put my deposit down July 8, ironically got the 8th build slot at my dealer. I’m a former 911 owner. Sold my Carrera S with the intent of replacing it with a newer model; but pandemic pricing and supply put me on hold. When the Emira was announced, I was smitten; put my order down the very next...
