While that sounds fun, the stock exhaust is very quiet, and I constantly found myself bouncing off the rev limiter. The handling was fantastic, but compared to a twin where you can enjoy winding out a gear, the low redline gets annoying pretty quickly.
Definitely has a diesel-like power delivery. It's in need of a bigger turbo but the aftermarket support for the platform is poor, unfortunately. They just look so damn good
