I'm not saying that I don't end up into the low 6's occasionally but I can feel the benefits falling off by the time it gets there.
I see your point, but if you are driving your car like that, maybe you must trade it for turbo one .... The brz frs gt86 brothers become alive at 5k rpm to 7.2 k rpm.


Thanks all for your replies!!!

I 'm still wondering what happens with my car. If you can help me with the services bullettin, my car is MY2013.

Next week i'm going to drive it to the subaru importer in chile, my car is under warranty and all the services done by them..... If they solve the problem, i'm going to write here the feedback.....But this issue is kiling my love for the BRZ , and i'm really starting thinking trade it for another car (not subbie)

SALUDOS Y GRACIAS!!
