When being compared to a 4.0 tacoma, the twins take way more effort to be able to get up to speed in time for the merge. Again, this is comparing to a 2nd gen 4.0 tacoma.

so because the twins use an engine with a different powerband it makes it more difficult to merge and go on ramps? it sounds like you're too scared to bang it off the redline (you're missing out on nearly 1,500 revs of the FA20's strongest point) and downshift
and I think you just got a bit spoiled
I sure wouldn't want a Tacoma-like powerband in my twin, gross..people really need to experience and appreciate what is out there, the majority of cars on the road take like 10 seconds to get to 60! the twins are a breeze, the only folks that "beat" me on the city streets are like V8s and diesels..
