So are dealerships letting people redline new cars off the lot? Or they are being good and following the 1000mi break-in schedule.. in which case it IS a slow gutless car.

My local Subaru dealer let me take out a WRX and a BRZ without even coming along, and the same was true of the BMW dealer with a 128, 328, and 335. The Porsche salesman came along when I drove the Cayman, but he not only let me rev it to near redline, he egged me on (as did the Ford salesman with the Mustang GT). Honestly, if I can't drive a sporty car in a way to actually experience the "sportiness" of the car, then what's the point of the test drive in the first place? I'm not test driving it to see if I like the air conditioning, I'm test driving it to see if I like the way the car drives, and to determine that, I have to be able to push it at least a little bit.
