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!
Agreed, i tracked an s58 pretty hard and loved the power delivery.
