Yeah, since we used to have the R53 w/ supercharger and now an R56 with Turbo, I've decided I really like the turbo version better. The engine is still quite torquey, and has a small turbo lag.

I think Carrie prefers the instant power feel the supercharger used to present, but the overall power of the JCW engine is quite a bit higher. Overall, they drive quite alike considering the different set ups.

The rocketman is a bold move, I think it will be successful.
