They aren't wrong. I had the same observation when I first drove mine. The difference is that I understand why and appreciate the choices made. Any flat engine with long intake runners is going to behave the same way.

Also, I DGAF. Most of the local gang here modded the piss out of their cars and eventually sold them. I'm still putting along enjoying every minute, both in the car and under the hood. Good times!
