It looks great from 5-7000....however, you can tell that when he pulls it down to around 3000 in the corners, that it takes it a good bit to get moving again. That's all I'm saying.....great engine, very high technology, but more geared towards a track engine.

Stop light to stop light would tell a different story...especially if paired with a heavier car or higher rearend ratio.

This is very much the expected result from trying to get a lot of horsepower (but no torque) from a small displacement engine....you need lots of revs. My mind takes me back to 302 Camaros, Boss 302 Mustangs, etc. Gotta keep em revved up high...
