I’d buy a low powered, less expensive SC if it did the same perf and a good header and tune.
The torque dip was addressed in the 2017 revision. You can download the 2017 blueprint elsewhere on this forum. Interior quality and ride quality, important to me, were also addressed. There is still a slight dip, but less than before. And you wouldn't pay less for a Twin with a header and a tune. In any event, a header creates more noise and a tune is less reliable -- both are important to most consumers. If the car were as noisy as it was in 2016, I would not have purchased it.
