You are correct in that the real track time gains are in being able to hold 2nd or 3rd longer and avoiding an up shift. I thought I was going to have huge buyer's remorse, but after driving the ND2 at the Canadian launch event, I was indifferent.
Edit #2: Have a look at the torque curve differences between the ND1 and ND2.

unhappymeal, thanks for the data!
Still, for autoX, those numbers are all in the right place for stock classing (where the car was already pretty overdogish).
I haven't looked into the current Fasttrack... but it is a good car getting better. I am glad to see that!
Now.. for the BRZ...
