In fact, the 0-60 was more like 9 seconds if driven "properly", and Honda had used the 5-second time to SELL the car, and therefore it was absolutely within warranty to side-step the clutch. They paid the claim. I sold the car.
As far as the BRZ, it never interested me.
Lastly, My '05 EJ25 saw 117 passes at the track and at least double that on the street before I sold it. The car was just basic stage 2 with a pro tune, has 160K on the motor at present, and has only had an oil-feed turbo line issue, nothing else.
'04/'05 EJ25 was a fantastic engine. What the hell they did to them after that I have no earthly idea.

5K clutch dump was the only way to get a WRX to the claimed 0-60, they were basically using the engine as a flywheel with AWD.
