Think of it this way, the 3.7L VQ makes more power at 5500RPM than the BRZ. If you shift at 5500RPM, no oil temp issues, no overheated brakes, no coarse engine, you will still be faster

Lots of reviewers were turned off by this. Personally I don't think it's terrible, but in no way is it on par with a Porsche. Smooth is better in that department.

In regards to knowing history, I'm sure he knows more than you think but Z's but he's only human and can't be an expert on ALL cars from every car marque. So you can't rip him for that.
