I’ll tell you one thing that’s exactly the same as before, the Rev limiter comes down like and anvil, it’s brutal. I kinda forgot after years of driving around with a tuned FA20.

Other than that it feels like a different engine. It still has the quirks and weird rattles and sounds of a boxer motor, but it’s more smooth in its power delivery. Besides the power difference it feels like a much better calibration than especially the early FA20s. When flooring it from 2.5-7k it feels much more linear and less choppy. It’s not BMW-inline6 level smooth, but it’s much better than the old car. My only complaint is that first gear feels a bit too short now that there’s more power, glad they went back to the OG final drive, with the ZC6 facelift ratio it would have felt even more ‘too short’.
