More buzzing around today. The benzina (love that word) gage moves fast enough to see!
I think the most significant boost has been made below the dip. Seems to me there is a more obvious "dip" transition in this version as well. Perhaps because of effort to reduce the induction noise, dunno. The noise is certainly more mellow through the transition. Pulls hard to the dip, hesitates, pulls through the dip and then once past it pulls like mad. I have a humble auto trans, but was totally surprised at how hard and fast it gets going to redline. Manual is even more fun, working to keep it out of the "dip" above or below.

I spend most of my time below 5k or so, and this version is very good there. So good that I now REALLY want the OFH and the Phantom. I know very well I have the wrong car for grunt, but Shiv has worked a real miracle here.

Seriously, the OFT makes it a very different car. I've been trying to come up with a name for my car, and am considering "Squirt", because that's what it does. Corner, squirt, corner, squirt, corner, repeat.

ETA: Somebody buy the Rally car version and send the ROM to Shiv.
