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
https://www.knowyourparts.com/techni...-service-tips/ 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. |

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

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....

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.
