  1. The 100-200 time seems to line up pretty well with 210hp if you ask me, I dont think its missing much or any power to speak of. Its AWD after all, robbing a bit of power.

  2.  @raiinydayz1889  Yes, I know about the AWD system. Still has more hardware to spin, which robs some power. Regarding torque, revs and power delivery, those factors are as good as irrelevant to the acceleration numbers. Only average power in between gearshifts count, and that number is often very closely correlated to the peak power number. In as good as every petrol powered car, shifting earlier, "using the torque", or power delivery rpm mattering at all, are sadly all just effectively long-lived myths that for some reason became popular, but have no basis in reality.

  3. Are you sure about that? Lots of people think shifting earlier is faster because it might feel so, but it very, very seldom is, the power has to really, really fall off like almost no car (never seen it in a petrol pwered car) does for that to be the case,

  4.  @pequod1  Exactly, thats almost always the case.
