Ish. I'd define SYPP as being all about torque - being fired off the line so hard that you involuntarily make a silly squeak.
BHP is kind of different in terms of experience - your car may go through the gears fast but it still has to wind round to (say) 4,000 RPM before you get into the proper power, so you kind of settle into it, even if the countryside is starting to flash past at a frankly intimidating rate by that point.
The E63 was just ridiculous off the line, the hot-V twin turbochargers just gave it immense thump low down. The 911 will be pretty shit, I suspect, lower down - but will be really getting into it's stride above the constant, 5252 rpm.
