The turbo lag is misunderstood.
Sure, there is no boost below 3000 RPM, but you still have a 3.3-liter flat-6 making horses back there. You can get across the street just fine and dandy - just don't pick a fight with someone unless you have room for the boost to kick in (100 yards out). Once you have boost... hang on.
In third gear, at 60 MPH, step on it and there are very few cars out there that can hang with you! Your eyes sink in your face.
They are a blast to drive (I just parked mine 5 minutes ago after making a run to the "grandparents" house 15 miles away for dinner). I drove it four different times today just for fun.
The boost is VERY ADDICTIVE.
