Ahh, the new 4.4 will beat the old 4.4 to 60mph as well as through the quarter so any "getting beat" will take place only within about 40 feet after that the new 4.4 will pull on it. And as for increased throttle response being better then more actual power, that is one of the craziest things I've ever heard. " Yes, I'll take a Civic with 105 hp OVER the Ferrari because the Civic has quicker throttle response" :bustingup
