I have not, nor do I even care anymore. I'll heckle the dealership to limp the car by in good order until it's time to trade it in. NO passion for this thing anymore. Junk. I'm emotionally done with it and just don't care. Also, I doubt anything is tweaked. It did this at 10K miles, and the car was hit (panel damage) at 17K miles. The bodyshop had the whole front end (bodywork) off, and looked specifically for tweaked stuff. Found none. Nissan has aligned it twice. Both times good to go. Nissan has looked at the front end numerous times, keeping the car for several days total, trying to figure out WTF!? So I do not feel that I am going to accomplish anything other than getting dirty by crawling under it.
Have you driven a corvette? Everyone I know who has driven a BRZ or FR-S says it's like a lighter corvette regarding how it feels. That also means it's MUCH more precise, as it's hard to hide the 275's up front on a 'vette. I really miss that light, tossable, effortless weight transfer of my Z06, but I don't want the performance I will never use, but still have to pay for. A BRZ STI would totally be fully tappable on some occasions, and have a nice feel to it. I'm tired of this car in the fact that it's under warranty and has racked up thousands of dollars in repair already (shop time is $135 at my local dealer, per hour. They've kept it all day before). You think I'm going to own this POS after the 3/36? HAH! I'm going to trade it at around the 32-34K mile mark. Hopefully on a BRZ STI by then, but I'm still of course open.
Anyway, they make more than 1 brand of car for a reason
