Says the cars come with an Electronic Data Recorder that records speed, among other things, that law enforcement can use for accident investigations...

I've always wondered when that would become a thing...

The acu records all sorts of good stuff.

Was thinking the same thing. Think I read somewhere all cars since 2007 have had these. The edr here in the BRZ looks a little more advanced than some of the earlier ones. Also these things are really difficult to bypass remove as they are baked into the SRS and BCUs of the car.

Power isn't everything, and I also wouldn't say it has "very little" power.

one thing that is good is it's suppose to make its full torque pretty early even tho its a small amount. I hope the sti version doesn't take 2 years more to come
