I like the thought, I just don't believe they can get the lag low enough with that amount of boost to be truly satisfying. The lighter the chassis the quicker the response, and hence the quicker the throttle response you want to fully exploit it. So while I'd love the light weight of the four, I'd really want the torque of the S55 six. And the linearity and throttle response of the S85 eight. That's not too much to ask, is it?
