If I screw up and fall below 4k rpm I'm stuck waiting to get into the power again. Not an issue with the type r.

Fair enough, I assumed a BRZ/86 would be quicker. That’s pretty impressive for a fwd car, I’ve read the hype and watched reviews on the Type R, impressive vehicle, but assumed the twins would be faster in this scenario, guess not. “Grin factor?” that’s another thread I guess.
