ETA: You can get the software to edit and flash your ECU for exactly zero bucks.
If they were serious about keeping this car in the lineup, they would let you mix and match and custom order your car. Not sure I'd pay 35K for an FR-S, though. When Scion does a RBR (Rocket Bozo Release) we will know the car is dead.

The dip is the killer thing more than overall power when it comes down to it and there are real everyday situations where its not easy to avoid the dip but it becomes a problem.
I had one today.
Rush hour traffic two highways merge together and one entry ramp on far right side that is also an exit ramp. The exit is about 600 feet after the 3 merge together.
I am on left highway merging into the main highway. Traffic crawls there at about 10mph.
The far right lane which is the entry/exit lane is practically empty and the cars that are in it are doing 40-50mph.
I have to go from far left to far right because I need to take that exit.
So I am in the 10mph traffic moving across lanes needing to get in that exit lane in less than 600 feet.
Once I get in the most right lane next to the exit lane I am still doing 10 mph because of traffic.
Now I have to time my entry to the next lane perfect because those cars are going 40-50mph.
Lowest gear I can go into is second.
Well there is the f_cking dip and I am flooring the sh!t out of my car to get up to speed fast. It takes way too long to get out of that dip and up to speed.
