I think it will be a lot faster than 4.3s to 60. Likely sub 4s in ideal conditions with launch control.

Torque is a good thing. Pulling in any gear at whatever rpm sounds good to me. Now, having to wait till July of next year to get my car is difficult. I hate the wait.
I concur,- having to wait really sucks... but, maybe much earlier than July?
... if they'll start taking orders sometime in January?
