It "feels" like you're always flooring it but it just makes it harder to be smooth with.

That's practically all turbo cars once on boost, twin scroll helps a bit.

The journalists would be been screaming bloody murder had the GR86 been given that kind of throttle mapping on an NA engine.

For track users it will be interesting to see the differences (if any) regarding the fasteners and components related to the new aluminum knuckles. Hopefully the reliance on “torque to yield” bolts isn’t too prevalent

I’m really interested to hear technical reviews regarding the advantages of the rear sway bar design.

There's a difference between turbo lag/building boost and throttle mapping though. Although this kind of throttle mapping in a turbo car definitely compounds the effect imo.

Factory WRX tune was notorious for that. Not to mention it had that cheesy 2 second overboost function. The only reason I can think of Subaru doing this is to impress people on test drives.

I wouldn't be surprised if the next gen WRX kept this turbo surge trait.

Looks like BRZ press day is at Lime Rock today.

Hope to see a comparison, maybe Throttle house or any other that ran on their home turf.
Also, curious if the suspension changes makes much difference on this power level.

Anyone know what time we should start seeing impressions pop up on Youtube?

Does anybody actually buy that BS COG argument the Subaru carline planning manager spouts in one of these reviews about why there's no turbo on the new car? If so I've got a fabulous Florida real estate investment opportunity for you....

Just saw that. Probably no embargo. Probably a free for all. Whoever gets it up fastest wins.

I do not expect all the fuzz that the GR86 videos had, as most of the information is already available. Let’s see if they can bring something that would add value to the reviews or else if they’re going to just rinse and repeat.
