I tend to shift late, but I would not recommend it in an BMW M-Tech, their red-lines are a little too far up.

Compared to Ms N3's Honda s2000 they are like a diesel, that is a high revving car... :lolI tend to shift late, but I would not recommend it in an BMW M-Tech, their red-lines are a little too far up.Comment

It's not gutless it hits 60 in 5.5 seconds does over 150 mph and puts 237 bhp out. You just have to work the gearbox, anyone with even a small amount of skill can do that.
It will eat a porsche boxster or 3.0 Z4
It is the most powerfull 2 litre normally aspirated production engine in the world and no traction control! tc is for gays!Comment
