If it was 1990 and I got in ths car and cruised around I would honestly think Iwas driving a BMW in-line 6, the torque down low is just perfect for casual driving, this 4 banger confidently cruises smooth at 2000 rpm! It just feels competent.

For aggressive driving the torque dip is tricky, the way the gears are laid out is the real issue. I just can't help but wonder if the redline is really 8500 rpm, if it is the car's performance would be radically better.

I could give a sh1t about FI for my FR-S but if we could swap valve/springs and raise the rev limiter to 8500 it would be a new car.
