An aftermarket company has a much more focused customer base, so they won't have to make the same compromises. An aftermarket company could choose to sacrifice around-town ability for improved top-end torque.
touche'...and based on your posts I have a great deal of respect for your perspective, experience, etc.
I understand the compromises that need to be made to appeal to a broader demographic in addition to making sure that the car is reliable and has degree of longevity.
I guess my message was to those who mistakenly assume that they are smarter than the company that took two years ++ to develop an awesome automobile.
