Talked with Bob @
Drift-Office over the last couple weeks. Bob has a colorful collection of cars and owns a MT FRS.
Bob had my a/t BRZ over the course of almost two weeks for R&D. In summary, he was extremely pleased with the A/T and thinks there maybe a possibility of closing the power gap with a few mods and tuning.
My setup will soon have an AVO turbo installed, and he'll have one for his FRS... Maybe next week? Should be some interesting results coming!
