Default Maybe

If you are referring to such things as :

Very high compression

Radical cam profile

Blowers/Turbos



This is why I went with the massive 514. Mild compression/reliable big torque/HP, yet with that "super model" idle
It is a pleasure to drive and I cannot imagine this car in particular with less HP or torque being nearly as much fun. And in fact it has massive bottom end torque and power so I don't have to rev it much at all in normal driving. In fact it's all too easy to let it get carboned up by not revving it.
