It's not all about straight line acceleration. If you value handling then M340 is gonna be a good choice! It's powerful enough! My thoughts after driving tuned TTV8 550 for 4 years!
How many people live near "twisties" and "canyon roads". Not me and I am afraid not many do either. It's funny how people obsessed over high lateral G cornering capabilities in DD cars when they live in areas flat as a pancake chock full of traffic
I take these so called "twisties" on my daily commute :
That's awesome man! Unfortunately for the vast majority we don't live no where near roads like that.
