Now that this topic has come up, I do recall that the shape of the gas tank on our cars is shaped exactly like the tank on my Evo X. It's a saddle bag shape, and the fuel pump is on the left side of the tank. My Evo X had fuel starvation issues with long sweeping left handers going WOT. Turn 7 at Thunderhill gave me fuel starvation everytime even with 2/3 tank full. The Evo was as serious gas guzzler. I'd go through 1/2 tank after one 20 minute session, so you'd get fuel starvation even if you started off with a full tank. I haven't taken the BRZ to Thunderhill yet. Hopefully it won't be an issue. Doubtful given I'm stock power and tires, but the Evo would starve in stock form with stock tires (just not at 2/3 tank, more like 1/2 tank)
