Nice job Cuda!

Brother needs a Porsche and performance driving school. Real bad. Hard to tell from the photo, but he was a couple of feet away from a 10 foot drop...a few MPH faster, and his Saturday would have been a lot worse than waiting for AAA to show up and drag him back onto the asphalt.

I would suggest he get a base Camry, some Safety Driving lessons and leave the performance driving to those who can. There are those who have a disconnect between the brain and the right foot.
The car only does what we ask it to do.

The problem is that there is a significant gap between what we are actually asking the car to do and what we think we are asking the car to do.

When traveling at significant speeds and we encounter small furry things, small furry things die. End of discussion.

I wouldn't pile on him too hard. If you haven't driven a rwd car before, 86 is not the best choice IMO. The car came with prius tires from the factory to make it easier to slide around. In pictures it looks like he still has factory sized tires on it.

86 is very tail happy and really reminded me of the ap1 s2000. Honda actually re-worked the suspension on the s2000 ap2 as too many people were having problems with the tail happy nature of ap1.

He had an M3 before the 86 - sold that off after putting it over a curb into a planter. The car is not the issue. :D

When he first got the 86, I was lobbying hard for him to pick up a turbo kit (no smog check for the first 8 years for new vehicle purchases in CA), but now I'm not so sure more HP is a great plan.
