Full throttle - not for long, no - merging with aplomb is about it.
Negatives - it's an 8.5:1 compression engine, so despite being 2.3 litre it's a bit rubbish until it comes into boost, when it's not anymore.
When you are on track that's not a problem, but it can be a bit annoying when (and it's always your own fault for not being observant tbh) you get caught napping and are not in the right rev range/gear.
