they also could have said "hey its half a v8 now!"
point is, a tire can only give 100% of traction at a time. be it in accel, side, or braking. a reduction in the affect of acceleration on traction would make for a slight advantage and explaining it like that would be admiting its not gonna do much for us everyday joes except cut some potential top end
kinda smart move on their part saying it like this.
im rather curious how they got past the requirement for heavy balancing inherent in the crossplane design and also if it will rev at a similar speed to its screamer rivals
