Find out in our upcoming December issue of GRM, on sale November 12.

Did they request you to test on those cheater Pirelli trofero RS tires like they made savage geese do? As those tires are faster than cup2 Rs, so comparing it to pilot sport shod supras or bmws would seem a bit unfair .

Those Pirellis are part of the optional Handling Package which, sadly, our test car was not equipped with. It was a sad omission and hampered an otherwise extremely competent chassis.
