Although not much a direct reply to my point, different strokes for different folks. Generally speaking a high crank torque turbo engine is very forgiving of being in the wrong gear when desiring maximum acceleration. Engines like the S65 can be significantly less fun if simply unwilling to choose the best gear when you want maximum acceleration and equally are less fun if unwilling to take the tach needle near or into the yellow or red. Again there is nothing that makes doing so inherently driving like a "maniac".
