You bet it is! I love the torque this thing has. With the DSG trans it just picks up and goes down the road clicking off super quick and seamless shifts. Also got to love the braaap... between shifts from the exhuast.

That said I would not want this powertrain in my BRZ. I love the engine in the BRZ and holding on to a gear at part throttle and letting the revs climb is just fantastic.
