I appreciate your feedback and opinion - I was also wondering, you honestly think that the added horsepower from the OFT (+30hp give or take), complimented with 130 subtracted pounds will be un-noticeable?

I got my BRZ back in Jan 17th and I been just going to the mountain only. Not used it for DD. Yesterday I took out rear seat, seat back, and spare tire plus jack, tools. Filled up the gas full at Costco and got on I75!.Immediately I felt little bit more pick up from 5k to the redline(fyi temp was 50f/I weight 150ish)
Far as noise goes, traveling at 80mph I had my volume pretty high because of the noise coming from rear. I don't know if this will get better over the times but, not good for long trip. At higher volume you can still hear the roar from the back!
Ok, at the mountain my BRZ definitely slide her butt more easily then before. Keep in mind I used up1/4 tank of gas and temp was about 55f. Couldn't believe shaving off about 50lb can do such a change.
Oh, and when gas was down to 1/4 tank, car pulled harder from 4k to the redline. So 'YES' putting on a diet will make the car faster IMO. To keep weight distribution of the near 50/50 will be tricky.
