Its all about spitting out the torque and shifting quick. Also you cant for get about the cars weights. what are those numbers?
Engines get detuned for insurance reasons to keep the power to weight safe for the street. I'm sure there have been some hairy NA 3.2L benz motors built up in the past.
You're starting to get under my skin MAX... just an FYI... Your posts are starting to sound like a blow-hard... Perhaps you should do some modifications on your own car, report the results and provide the photos, data, etc... This might be more educational to the other forum members...
