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.
It's not about being smarter, it's just a very clear compromise that the OEM made. I'm not assuming anything, having a fixed intake manifold is a design compromise no matter how you look at it, I am just pointing out that the aftermarket can provide a more expensive solution that changes the powerband favorably (in the opinions of certain people at least), for people who can afford it.
