I understand your point, but it honestly didn't feel overwhelmingly more powerful. And yes, I may drive an automatic, but who ever said I let the machine decide when it wants to shift. I'm always in manual, shifting when I want; and sure, the clutch may give you a better start, but I sure as hell can outshift the automatic transmission and get up to speed faster. My point is the Gen Coupe FEELS heavy and thus the extra power doesn't do it enough justice. I'd much prefer a lighter car that may take slightly longer to get to 60, but feels nimbler in the process.
