Mid to upper range power
 
This may be a dumb question but I am so impressed how the 3.0 just pulls from 60 on up with what seems like no end. Would a naturally aspirated car with identical horsepower and torque specs show the same results or does the supercharger bring the power on more quickly and keep it there thus ending up being a faster car in the upper range? I know there are many variables to that comparision but I have owned some fast cars in the past and none kept the power "on" like this one. Just amazing....

Its the curve. The way they control the boost they can keep the motor at peak for more rpms. Naturally aspirated wouldn't have a power plateau like the supercharged motor does, it would be like a mountain.

Try keep the car above 3,000 rpm, that is where the peak torque comes.
