Coming from a Stage 2 M2C, I personally much prefer the smooth linear power delivery of the S58 and feels closer to that of an NA engine. There are no torque spikes and I always know what to expect from the throttle, as opposed to the "wild" and sometimes jerky response of the S55.

This engine and it's throttle mapping is one of the key reasons why this platform puts the power down so much better than F8x. More power down = faster

Sure, you can argue that the S55's wild character might make it feel more exciting to some people! Fair enough, but for me, as a track oriented driver, I much prefer the smoothness and more linear power delivery of the S58.

Smooth is fast!
