Yeah, not that I will ever know, but this is one of the better videos I've found of what it's like to drive one in the real world:

First take is that it seems about the same amount of grunt as my (very) mild 2-liter, except that everything happens about a grand higher. Routine shifts in traffic are at 4000 rpm. For a little more go, he shifts at 4500.

On the highway, he's doing over 4000 at 70, and I'd think the buzz would get old pretty quick on a long drive.

I can see things getting kinda nifty at, say, 7000, but you'd probably worry some about the potential expense of a missed shift.

All things considered, I'm OK with what I've got.
