Like I said, I want to see finals from them, I know part changes have happened, and while I am not expecting higher final numbers, I think the curve can get better, humps can move, and dont see the shape on the SC plot where I expect it to be and am suspect of the chart above's accuracy. Not saying youre not close, but you could be off too. I suggest on holding off from comparos till we have more data.

No doubt to break tires early and fast this would be what I wanted. No lag. Nice street option, but changes the car alot. HP and TQ come on early, somewhat nitrouslike IMHO.Sounds fun!
I sorta see the SC as being between the Twin and the Turbo. It moves everything north in amplitude with slight parabola towards the end. Stock HP and TQ moves up mostly. Organic feeling.
The turbo will give me mid range and some low and some top, but there is lag, however small or large, its THERE, each time the revs drop. It is a FUN feeling, that full on power when it does hit, it hits.
SC will be prompt, subtle at first down low, and when I am nailing her like she likes me to pound her, I spend my time up north of 5000, usually right up to low 7000's. Not sure the peak being in the 3000's attracts me much unless i'm trying to pass someone for a parking spot at the mall. It really does depend what youre after. As I drive a long ways to phoenix, I like the low RPM efficiency ALOT given what gas costs per gallon. I'm not an auto driver. I Downshift to pass, rev right, and wham, power outta nowehere appears lag free on demand, linear*. Cant wait to get my car back!
