Why do we still love manuals so much? Because direct control over the transmission allows the driver to really ring out the RPMs and fill the BRZ's cabin with arguably the best exhaust note a Subaru has ever produced. It's loud and not particularly smooth, but completely beguiling and perhaps the beefiest-sounding 200-horsepower four-cylinder engine note around.
yesssss

That math doesn't jive with the earlier "2900 rpm @ 60" claim. At that ratio, the rev limiter shouldn't kick in until 154.
I'm guessing it is just not able to accelerate beyond that with only 200hp [please don't start a flamewar]
