Very good point abut the final drive ratio. I did notice the rpms seemed high when driving in the city (although I only picked up the car last night). I'll have to monitor my rpms at various speeds/gears and compare to videos online. As mentioned above, I bought the car with 2500km on it, and it had a bunch of track ready parts (AP Racing nrakes, Ohlins coilovers, sticky tires, etc). It wouldn't surprise me if there was a final drive ratio change.
