I think that this situation is the best to describe "turbo, the replacement for displacement".

I realize they were in thin air but that was quite the throbbing the IS-F took.

I cringe every time I see these guys' videos. They really annoy the hell out of me.

Japanese car companies are incredibly strange. When they put their minds to it, they can create a tech tour de force (LFA, GT-R) but they can't seem to take that tech and make it consistent across the rest of their lineup. This is where BMW and Porsche succeed.

Awesome. Now, I can't wait to see what a tuned 235i will do.
