BTT: at least they upgraded the engine of the BRZ. The previous BRZ was a really good handling car, even better than its twin (Toyota GR86) due to its stiffer suspension. However, it was no quicker or faster than the similar-priced WRX.
Many wanted a turbocharged BRZ but Subaru kept it with an NA engine. There is a thrill in keeping the revs high with an NA engine.

Quick summary:
BRZ suffers from oil pressure drop during high-G right turns
They fixed it by:
Using a baffle and overfilling by 0.5li
Using 40W oil instead of the recommended 20W or 30W (+6 PSI)
Adding an Accusump accumulator
Mods that didn't help with oil pressure, but were necessary for track:
Oil cooler (pressure drop caused by cooler slightly reduced by removing heat exchanger)
