The engine is unbelievably alive. It’s like a squirrel climbing a tree.

But the lack of displacement shows up when you’re sitting on a steep incline red light. It takes extreme skill to not slip the clutch and not bog the engine.

Also, in third gear under heavy acceleration the engine feels underpowered to me.

I bet the 4.0 solves most of this.
I bet it still doesn't have that much low end torque, you're talking below 3500rpm. You need v8, turbo/supercharging or electric for that. Even the 3.8 Carreras and my GT4 needed some revs.
