FWIW:

@EdLoh can you please clarify? 7450 RPM @ 136 MPH in 6th = ~4100 RPM @ 75 MPH... that sounds like high RPM for freeway cruising speeds.

@EdLoh Can you clarify the weight discrepancy since Subaru press release says 2684 pounds? Thanks.

@deslock Wish I could. I kept asking about topend n this is from the JDM engineers. Not aero or electronically ltd, beyond the RPM cut.

@deslock All mfr weights are suspect. 2684 is likely JDM and may not include the 17s and other optional gear. SOA says 2770, we say 2800.

@deslock Back to topspeed; this could all be lost in xlation, but one engineer mumbled something about an unoffical cap of 220kmh. #gofigure

@EdLoh Thanks for the follow-up, and for all the info. 2770 lbs is a little more than I'd like, but I'm very excited about this car.
