That feeling has NOTHING to do with FI, it is the OEM's pandering to the 'I want power from idle to red line' brigade.

Come drive my straight six, big single turbo engined car....not much happens until 4,500rpm then all hell breaks loose all the way to 9,000rpm. Makes any NA seem boring, including S65. Keep that thing in the powerband on a track and you don't get a more rewarding and addictive motoring experience. ............but because it can't be driven by idiots buying a fast car to go to the shops, it would get slated.

For every 1 enthusiast there are 10,000 ass wipes with zero driving know how.
