Exactly! When you really squeeze every last erg (that's the sound of a dyne-cm (pronounced dyin'-cm) makes...) out of them then you really can notice the lag... If we weren't supposed to drive in the city like it's an autocross, then why do cabbies and left-turners make such neat slaloms? ;

Hmmm I wonder what he would say about the 606 turbos. They have no adjustment; everything is computer controlled... Especially the egr and wastegate. Apparently, some serious electronics skullduggery is required to defeat the egr without having the computer disable enrichment/boost. --
