Yes. And the only way they squeezed that out was with the Toyota fueling system.

Have a '19 ND. I'm working on getting it to the BRZ's level. Shift feel is obviously subjective but the ND falls short of the BRZ in several areas, shift feel being a major one....it's loose, light and sloppy compared to the BRZ. While I loved the BRZ, I didn't truly appreciate it until it was gone in favor of my ND. The BRZ is one hell of a car and the shifter is gold. |

The second best would be E92 M3. Still direct, a bit more rubbery, and substantial. The BRZ felt direct but very flimsy, like they used the lowest grade recycled steel and the components were made as thin as possible. There was also a lot of play, on par with the 07 GTI with bushings. The 2007 GTI, which has shifter cable bushings and a short-shifter, feels more substantial and smoother. I do have engine and transmission mounts, so I'm sure that enhances shifter feel. |

Next gen needs:
- To keep the manual - Start at around $25k (Base, manual), have a track ready package (like a 1LE BRZ) that includes slight power bump, better gearing, better brakes, suspension, wheels & tires, a built in track camera data system and lightweight components for around $35k - Keep it light, stiff and safe. - Keep the interior uncluttered, less is more when you are creating a "drivers" car.

Dropping the price is super easy! I mean the car shouldn't have cost as much as it does to begin with!!

It wont sell as a bare bones track car. Very few people care about track worthiness. It has to be quick, comfortable and stylish.

Yeap, I assume any turbo twin would be based of the top of the line model.
They are going to need to sell alot to make the venture worth while. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.
