Great engineering exercise, but IMHO this is engineering for engineering's sake. Mind you, I am not belittling the work of the engineers.<p> Not happy about the torque curve, not that people really exploit such cars to the fullest.....still a flat plane V-8 of 4.8 L with similar attention levels would have been better, IMO. Lighter too. Oh well.<p>
