Been thinking about this too. The G80 is tuned to be more NA ish with less torque swell down low.
That said, the S55 in ZCP spec wasn’t a low end monster - it didn’t spool till 3k (below that it’s basically an NA motor…. weak) but boy did it come on strong, and, pull hard to 7k….. so it had a very usable 4K window.
It should be noted that prior to my F80 experience I was always an NA snob….and now I’ve seen the turbo light. Curious IF the G80 manual “feels” turbo-y still or just a super fast NA motor.
