Hopefully the top end isn't too bad with your new WRX. When the boost kicks in it feels like a rollercoaster but my GTI was absolutely gutless above 5000rpm, some people don't seem to notice this but I certainly did.

I was actually quite happy to reunite with NA again when I traded in for a BRZ, I just wind it out whenever I need to. Only took me a few days to re-adapt my driving style.
