I would gladly trade the power gains for the ability to see my brake pads. Torque is overrated anyway

Guess you need a German car. Just about every German car I've ever owned, you can see the brake pads!

Sorry, a bit late to the party. What's the deal with seeing brake pads? I can see brake pads in PP Brembos on my BRZ.

It’s a forum inside joke from a while ago. Basically someone went on a rant about not being able to see the brake pads with the wheel on and it’s been a running joke ever since.

I don't think it's 2900 lbs as stated in the article 🤔

They just copy-paste the media information given by Subaru. You can check the official weight details here.

Estimated for U.S. model: 6-speed manual: Premium 2,815 lbs. Limited 2,835
Automatic Premium 2,864 lbs. Automatic Limited 2,881 lbs.

A 6-speed manual Limited '20 model is 2,798 lbs. So, the Limited '22 model will be approximately 37 lbs. heavier. I would say that it is not bad, but it could be better.

Not sure what is the point to get these high and low angle shots with the big depth distortion. I guess it started with this silly photo of GR86.

I think with wide angle (not extreme) is more like it.
Normal focal length gives you a different perceptions than those of your eyes.

You have a prime example with the last Mazda 3: it’s c pillar seemed ugly by normal photo but you had another perception by live view.

If you stay in front of the car at the distance of your photo, you have a wide perception of the hood and pushed depth by live view, almost like your pic.
