Not sure why they put the back up camera in the rear view mirror when theres a much larger screen on the dash. The most noticeable difference is the gear ratio change as well as the tiny hp increase. It did not get rid of the infamous torque dip completely, but it feels greatly reduced at lower RPMs. The car feels a bit tighter, but I got this optioned with TRD sway bars and springs. My only gripe are the stock tires...I had Dunlop Direzza Star Specs on my FR-S and they have a much stiffer sidewall and felt more grippy. Tires will probably be my only mod once the stock ones are done.

I made a similar transition, with similar satisfaction. I used to run star specs on my track MX5-great tire. I'm loving the PS4s, on a slightly wider wheel, on my Bilstein equipped Hakone. Looking forward to a track day, once things cool down a little down here.
