While there is no replacement for horsepower and torque, gearing will do an incredible amount to overcome those shortcomings. It depends on the type of driving you do....whether stuck in heavy traffic most of the time, or long high-speed runs are the norm. But I would say that you can definitely put all the power available on the road, much easier than you can in the Lightning.

There are several great UK members and hopefully you are close enough to get together with one or more of them for a more educated answer based on the driving conditions there. Good luck, hope you find a great ride, and welcome.
