Feels like....
Seriously? I like the idea of a big torque 2.5 but not if its smooth. I dont care how fast the car is round a track as long as it feels fast. I find it way more fun.
Can you compare what the 490lb ft 'feels' like? I may have the wrong perception but i thought with that torque it would feel anything but smooth, i was once in an E92 Dakar M3 and wasn't impressed, it was way too smooth and i thought this was partly due to it only having 290 odd lb ft. I know it makes its power way up the rev range.
Correct my thinking if its wrong please as i dont want to waste money on the wrong setup.

Surely a well mapped car is super smooth - think of a space rocket launching lol.
V quick through the gears, certainly fast but not on a jagged edge - more like the old "iron fist in a velvet glove" synonym.
Really a lot of it is down to driving style I guess.....
If you want 'manic' then get a high revving 2.0 or 2.1.

What other supporting mods are on the car to give you that figure. I've gotta say they are outstanding figures from a vf48. Thinking of a possible upgrade from a vf35 on a newage sti, or the sc36 looks tempting.
