Yep! I was at a track day working with a coach and he pitted me in. First thing he asked, "Are you remembering to breathe?". You don't really think about it, but when you're hung off with a knee scraping the pavement, tires slipping, bike wigging around....breathing is not a top priority. You're just thinking, "Don't screw up!!! Don't screw up!!".

I especially like how it insulates the engine.

As far as "insulating the engine", I finally made the body "quick disconnect" because the chain was always coming off ...... Yep, riding one of those, going down a gravel road, will quickly learn ya lots of riding techniques ...... humfrz |

Maybe it's a mixture of me being so young / first car thing, but besides what I've done to my car so far (Muffler delete, Perrin Intake Hose / Sound generator delete, K&N Air and Oil Filters) I feel like the car is plenty fast, even in the torque dip range.
idk

I came from a tiny turbo 1.6l and the torque tip was painful when I first got the BRZ. Have gotten used to it and a tune made it almost unnoticeable. Car feels amazing now.
