Oh for the joy of having our two cars in the same place, one in the 1st and one in the 3rd lane of a 3 lane road and some sucker with a V8 or a SRT-4 in the middle!

Well, compared to the post-boost...yeah, I guess it'd be a dog. I would think (and hope) that a 3.0 w/ 8.5:1 compression (in the RPMs before boost) will still be more powerful than a 2.5L in the same RPM range. Yeah? Nay?
