Stock is stock apart from a catted FP + drop-in filter.

ESC and SPM are running around 11.5 between 5-7k, ignore the fact dynojet thought it was 13.

I believe you need to ask Rob for SPM when you order and he'll wire it in.

I have SPM but I'm not testing anything. Its just a switch that turns off/on the throttle switch. Unless we're talking about different things.

Agreed, although the cash flow you're receiving is inherent with any mode of transportation. Whether that's a sports car, gyrocopter, or a pair of shoes.

Just because a car depreciates less than another doesn't make it a good investment. A good investment is an asset which appreciates in value, a BRZ will not do that.

I moved to the US when i was 21 and was paying quite a bit more than you each month for an 09 2.5S Altima sedan. Was more than my car payment :(

Now at 26 i'm paying 150/month for the BRZ.
