Plus, the gen1 ran out of gear 2 just shy of 60, if they gear it just a bit higher, that's at least .2 seconds right there. If they gear it a bit lower, then you still lose that shift time, but could increase acceleration for the period before the shift Not that I really care. I just hope they keep similar gearing at gen1. |

You are so very credulous with "official sources"! Spokespeople and press-release writers don't necessarily know what they are talking about, and when they do can spin things to seem more impressive. *Maybe* the engine is indeed lower relative to fixed chassis points, but I'm betting they just lowered the car... Or yeah, combination, for sure the current cars engine sits awfully high... |

You only use the data point that agree with your theories? Cherry pick much? Sure it may be off a bit but is what we have for OFFICIAL data right now.

The "official" narrative might not be the simplest explanation, they tend to play things up and make even a relatively minor change seem like a host of "big improvements"... |

"The tidy coupe design is just over an inch longer and almost half an inch lower than its predecessor, resulting in a low and wide frontal area" We will not know ride height until we see some road clearance data. The pictures sure don't make it look lower to the ground.

Anyway, speaking of "official" data sources, they ain't always right... From the Subaru site: The 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine redlines at 7,000 RPM and delivers a 15-percent increase in torque. Peak power is at 7,000, redline is likely 7500rpm (indicated, anyway). Peak torque is actually up 18% (184/156 = 1.18) and it's likely 20% or more up through much of the rev range given higher compression ratio and 1.2x displlacement. I've had to write vehicle specs myself, and sometimes the editing goes a little wonky... Anyway, "official" data isn't always 100% correct. |

We will see what is what when we finally get a road clearance number.

We ALL know that nothing means anything to you until the almighty manufacturer lists "official" info. Even though that is not always accurate... |

Logic and reason resulting in assumptions and theories do not equal knowledge. They just simulate it. Some of the "more knowledgeable" contributors here are full of shit about 90% of the time so that is not a reference for their qualifications. We will eventually get some more FACTS and see what is what. At this point the known aspects of the lower COG are a lower engine, lighter upper body panels and weight redistribution through smaller upper greenhouse. Not sure why the assumed lower ride height even has to be considered. LOL we dodn't even know what the actual new COG is beyond "hyper car". We could be debating a few millimeters.
