Put me in the "on the fence" camp for the CS. A 3.4L engine should have great responsiveness and torque across the whole RPM range. It is obvious there is some 'de-tuning' in place to keep it from passing the flagship. This is where a little bit of modification (intake/exhaust) and an ECU flash make all the difference. My CS handles like a dream with PASM/Sport. I know there's room for improvement, but for a stock car it's superb.

I'm glad to hear the torque is bumped up significantly in the 718, but yeah, I liked the sound of the flat 6 more ! We'll see/hear when it's out in person !
