The more-torque-lower-down part sounds great for towing (  ), but the darn thing has so much torque already that I wouldn't be using it.
Given the issues with the V1, the fact that Dinan says it has created a tune with better driveability, and the warranty that comes with it, I think the V2 is a no-brainer. Those going for bigger numbers and/or additional features appear to have plenty of choices out there, too, and we're lucky to have so much from which to choose for this platform. |

Numbers are that, just numbers. I have the original Stage 1 and was taken aback when I saw the .v2 numbers (I have also thrown a CEL w/ mine driving normally).
I never race my car nor do I run it WOT, so what real difference is a bit less going to make. Seems like we all put a bit too much store in published numbers, be they HP/TQ or 0-60/1/4 mile times.
