It's all about torque from the start. That's why the new turbo charged BMWs, Audis got such fast e.t.s. They got full torque from 1800 rpm.

My friend's got the regular 85, but it's plenty fast and got scary torque. It's like GT-R level torque.

Guys are routinely getting sub 12 sec quarters in the C7. Some bone stockers are seeing mid 11's near 120 mi/hr.
