Went for a nice drive on one of my favorite local roads (Hwy 35 in Santa Cruz mountains) and thoroughly enjoyed the car!
The stock suspension is plenty stiff, while the gear shifts are much smoother (IIRC the 2022's had some fancier flywheel?).
Didn't rev it out much, but it definitely has a lot more punch than my near-stock gen.1, especially when I'm going in 3rd gear at 2nd gear speeds.
Also took some time to get used to heel-toe'ing without the Verus pedal spacer that I had on my gen.1, and thinking maybe I'll keep the pedal box stock for now.
Reached exactly 500 miles on the odometer, so half of the break-in is done!
Lowlight: experienced my first "hyperblink" at ~480 miles on the odometer, and got probably 17 more hyperblinks in the later 20 miles :\
