I believe each of the engines are hand assembled in motomachi by takumi craftsman. I’ve seen a video somewhere on YouTube that shows them micro finishing each cam and cylinders and done in a hermetically sealed facility.
Yes besides the transmission being a bit jerky, it’s got a lot of nice track ready stuff like transmission cooler, scavenge pumps, and a decently tuned platform. It’s just heavy for what it is but it’s more grand touring than a m3/m4 plus that NA engine can handle some serious boost.
I think it’s the perfect geezer mobile. Not so hardcore that you’ll break your tits flopping up and down on bumps but fast and fun enough to drive without falling asleep. It’s more of a sporty car vs my even more generic ratrolla.
Honestly I rather like it. It’s just expensive as fuck….
