I considered that but didn't want to second-guess his message. Looking forward to the discussion.

I think I found the place on the gas that confuses the torque dip on an automatic and makes it let loose. Can someone explain it though? I feel like I feel it if I drive normally but if I twitch my foot like I used to on my my sister's 86 Ford Escort it unlocks a demon.

That's pretty much what it is. The thread wasn't labeled as lugging, but it follows the same idea if it isn't the same idea.

RIP me, I'm super slow!

I'm averaging over 2k miles a month... I've had it for almost three months and already have 6400 miles...

DGM is the best BRZ colour ... congrats!

The PP wheels look super nice on this color too, really wish it was an option in Canada.

It truly baffles me why we can't have the options but can buy one of the special editions with the exact same things on it. Even if they made the option an ordered car only thing at least those that wanted it could have got it.

Odd decision for sure.

I had the opportunity to buy the Inazuma edition but couldn't get behind the yellow paint and yellow leather accents... I don't plan to track my car anyways so I'm not too disappointed, but the different wheels would have been nice.

Only get white if you really like the black and white butler kitty look. If that is not you, not a fan particularly of high contrast parts on a car, then get the DGM I would say. I have never seen an up close CWP brz. The cars are completely different looking when you see them live and close up. The car is oooooo badass. I cannot believe i contemplated getting a WRX over this. I mean.... it's dating an ugly chick vs a hot one. What's the debate?

My car turns heads wherever I go. I never thought it would, very strange. It looks and feels and drives like a much more expensive car. Stop looking at photos and order whichever one you want, they all look SICK in person.

The car is really fast. If you cannot drive it really really fast, it is the driver.

get 15lb wheels and street legal racing tires, with the new differential, the torque dip will not be in one's window for racing. Racing is all about turning and high rpm's. I think F1's idle at 4000 rpm. Too bad the redline cannot be brought up past 7400 without serious engineering and machining.

I am going to save this to quote over and over!


Imagine how many heads turn when the damn thing is bright orange!

My CWP looks so good. It has just the right amount of pearlescent/metallic flakes so it doesn't look like a boring, flat white. Looks good in most lighting, which is nice.

As far as the handling, over the weekend I found I reeeally enjoy the long turn around on/off-ramps from highways.
