I wouldn’t want to lose driveability. At the moment it’s an astonishingly capable car on twisty roads. Sure it’s more suited and comfortable on the “open highway” but once you get used to the turn in and body roll, you can just demolish roads with lots of corners. In the mountains it couldn’t really cope with tight hairpins and going uphill it needed 1st gear to accelerate out of the hairpins which was quite hilarious.
I love the idea of crazy large turbos with massive massive boost, but unless you live in Florida or Texas and only intend on doing 3rd gear pulls in the middle of the night it’s a bit pointless. Already have enough power to out-drag most things on the road.
