Oh I know what you mean. I used to have a RB25DET powered S13 240sx and the car was fast as fuck and totally linear. It just pulled like a super strong NA motor. That car was putting out 300whp and like 350 ft lbs TQ. It was a monster. Its funny because the S280 is totally a Jeckle Hyde setup. You can drive it around at quarter throttle and it will be quick but not like oh my god but if you just stomp on it then it flies all over the place and pulls like an angry pit bull.
Oh and yes I tested that out this evening just to remind myself. Driving it around town I sometimes forget its actually fast. Or maybe I am just really getting used to it?
