If it's so "sophisticated", why does it apparently produce exactly the same amount of power as the 2.3 in the Aero? 258 lb-ft from 2,000 to 4,500 rpm. 250 hp. It's the same stats. I'm sure they do it with less boost, so there'll probably be better throttle response, but come on they can do better than this. The G35 has 298 hp now. The Accord Hybrid has 255. A "sophisticated" turbo V6 should have more than 250.
