I’m going with, you just don’t know what you’re talking about. And that’s fine.
The speed with which revs rise and fall have absolutely zero to do with induction type. This is all relative to mass of the rotating assembly, including the flywheel. You’ve proven my point.
You’re free to like and dislike whatever you want, for whatever reason, but you should at least have an educated opinion.
Have you driven a current model STi? It does not have what I call "snappy throttle response." With throttles no longer being cable controlled, are you really getting the throttle opening you think you are? The base BRZ plays games with throttle opening to try to game that torque hole. But thats besides the point.

I'm also well aware what lighter flywheels do. I've run 9 and 11 pound units in other cars.
I don't like turbos. I prefer N/A. It's a free country.

At the end of all this, I just hope there's another useful product to spend money on.
