I like it.

Was it just me or was there still a lot of understeer? Car seemd to "push" quite a bit into corners....

I could be wrong though...

I only saw a couple instances of understeer (where the wheel was turned more than the car was turning.) For the most part that car exhibited a lot less understeer than the old model. Also, consider that the car only has RE050s (245s) instead of RE070s (JDM always had 235s) and it's pretty good.

I'm sure there is room for improvement though.

that track reminds me of Gran Turismo!

Trey Cobb went over to Japan to drive it and said that its soft, and the reason is for a more luxury feel I guess. I really like this video! Anyone seen the one where this local Japanese dealership drives it?

4th gear looks MUCH longer.

USDM 08 has the same gearing as the 07.
