More than likely, you can blame the lack of low end torque on the VVTL system. There very well may be a method, ALA VTEC, that simply wont open the valves to their best capacity until passing a certain RPM, in which case when you're racing, you'll have quite a large power band to work with unless for some reason you enjoy living below 4K RPM...

And as for my 2 cents, I find this car almost too tame. My 2000 Camaro felt very raw (which is a good thing IMHO) - any gear would plant you into the seat, quite firmly lol. Yes, more than the 370 :-p. Going to this car is a great step up in the handling department, but I yern for at least 50-75 more WHP. Oh my, once I get there...

I also wish the VDC was 100% defeat-able, but as some have apparently said, even disabled, its still there watching over like Big Brother. Irritating, when I flip once switch on my 2000 and it was balls-to-the-wall time, and anything goes as long as you hit the Happy pedal...
