To go faster (at the track...). Power bump from 205hp 1st-gen to 228hp (really more like 240-245hp) 2nd-gen was hugely beneficial to lap times for me

I don't think rtv issues are blown out of proportion. A certain percentage of these cars will have enough excess rtv to block the oil pickup. Buddy of mine lost his '17's (I think? later gen-1 anyway) engine at the track in '22, took it apart and sure enough, pickup clogged with rtv...
I had my new '23 inspected at dealership, they found rtv, removed it, and warranteed the work. Worth doing. Still concerned about pressure drop in right-handers though :concern:
