I love the looks and the handling of the twins, but dayum, Honda makes some great engines and manual trannys.

Yes it's new and yes I'm sure it will loosen up with the miles, every car I've had new did that so no reason to expect the BRZ to be any different. I'm sure it's gonna be way more responsive and reavvy with time.

I don't think it's getting use to the engine. I believe a lot of manufacturers install this limiting software on the engine to keep users from damaging the engine when it's new.

I could be wrong though
