Yeah. It takes a total recalibration of the "time to shift" part of the brain, for sure. Especially since (at least, while N/A) the torque curve is so smooth, there's not an obvious "fall off" to indicate you should be shifting soon. Also makes the car feel slow, when it really isn't.


I guess I should also further qualify my statement in saying:

Like almost every factory turbo 4 banger over 2 liters in displacement.

Since I know that there are 2.0 turbo cars that make 7 grand easy and I don't wanna get "called out" for not being 100% accurate. (Evo's, anything SR20DET equipped, the Genesis, etc)

lol.
