Figured I should update this.
I'm currently at 2,700 miles and the car is just amazing. Here are some quick answers and confirmation of many things people have heard:
Q: Does the torque dip hurt and is it noticeable?
A: The torque dip is very noticeable. The car is still fantastic though even with the torque dip.
Q: Does my car chirp?
A: Yes, I believe it does. However, I don't really let it bother me because I have been enjoying driving it so much.
Q: Do you think this car needs more power or does it need anything else?
A: No. I am so thankful and so happy that I bought this car. I came from a 2009 WRX. I have definitely second-guessed myself before about going down in HP and torque and almost every other question you can think of. However, I do not regret it at all. The reason is that although the BRZ may not stack up to the WRX on paper, the limits of the BRZ seem to be higher than the WRX.
This is my opinion. I would push the WRX and feel like I am at the edge, but you never really know. There is no "feel" to the car. You seem to trust the car more than actually communicate with it. With the BRZ, I have been able to do almost everything that my WRX has done. If the WRX did corner X at Y speed, the BRZ is able to do it as well. Not only does the BRZ do it, but it does it in a much more composed manner and still shows signs that it wants to just keep going. This car has literally been taking me to school every time I drive it. For all the naysayers of this car, I firmly believe that you have not even to begun to push the limits of this car.
In my opinion, I can not see how any enthusiast that loves to drive would dislike this car.
More to come later. I have some scheduled autocrosses and performance driving schools in the month of July. I can't wait to truly discover the limits of this car in its stock glorious form.
