I wish I understood the commentary.
He seemed to be fighting that FC's steering tendencies a lot more than the FB's.
I also find the spec that showed only a 50Kg weight difference between the two cars hard to swallow...

one of the things ive always found interesting with many of the cars tested on the video series above is that most of the cars, many from large well known tuners like Spoon, RE Amemiya, Powerhouse Amuse, and Fujita engineering all typically run semi-normal or typical plus sizing measurements for tire selection...rarely will you see cars with massively wide tires
^yeah ive noticed that too. It seems to give the cats a really good overall balance though.
As for the commentary, i only undrstood a little bit, but basically he was saying that the fc 13b in the fb was a good fit for the car. Basically it has just the right amount of power. For the 20b i heard him saying its scary, but the engine is amazing.
As for the lap times my guess would be that the 20b has too much power for the course, and as such he has to slow down more in the turns, and would explain why he seems to be fighting the fc (more power = more pulling to one side or the other). The extra weight of the fc chassis (what little there is) probably isnt making much of a difference.
