coming from a miata, I can say that this motor does not rev as quickly as my BP4W-T, nothing a lighter rotating assembly cant fix, though. Its far smoother revving than my inline4 though, for obvious reasons.

God I hope not. Our GenCoupe had it and it was annoying as hell.

Yes, sorry.. I mis-spoke.. I wasn't implying that heal-toe had to do with upshifting.. I was trying to give a disclaimer that I am not a particularly skilled clutch operator... but I still find it noticable and annoying when the revs don't drop quickly enough.
I know some people who can rev match upshifts and downshifts to the point where they can shift without the clutch. I'm certainly not that kind of driver. |

So you drove the BRZ? If so how smooth was the engine in comparison to other smooth engines? I hate the rough feeling of I4 engines so I hope its not anywhere close to it.

oh my mistake, thought this was the FRS forum. I actually drove an FRS (first86 and all that) -- but assuming the car's ECU and engine are identical...
The engine was the smoothest I have ever driven outside of a rotary. Nothing OEM will really ever be as smooth and as quick revving as a rotary, but this boxer came fairly close. However, Ive never driven any other boxers so I dont know if it being smooth like that is typical. I know the comparison is a bit worthless since Ive never driven an ej22, ej25, or other boxer vehicle, but thats my 2 cents. |

Supposedly the 2.0 Boxer engine in the FRS\BRZ is smooth like glass. No roughness at all. Smooth all the way to fuel cutoff.
From what I hear, there is no rev hang... |

I hate rev hang myself. I'm no expert, but it makes it difficult to heel n toe with sever rev hang. Just as you anticipate the revs to reach a certain point it hangs and throws off your rhythm. Hope for those of you who got the MT it doesn't have it.

I plan on taking my BRZ for a test drive before signing the papers. If I notice any rev-hang at all I'm walking away. It's that annoying.

I can imagine how annoying it would be but I'm sure there's a way to get rid of it. Sign the papers!
