It's definitely faster, no one is debating that. The question is how much faster, all else being equal. My guess is .5 - 1 second on a 60 second course as things stand.



We're probably still another year or two out from significant power gains in the aftermarket, and more importantly RPMs. At the Charlotte tour, I would have loved an additional 500 rpm, which is still an advantage the 1st gen has. The extra development time for the first gen can't be ignored. Things that worked for it aren't necessarily working for the 2nd.
