I actually pushed it a bit this morning (I couldn't wait to drive it again) and I did feel more on the top end. I will admit I was always disappointed with the top end of the 350 because it seemed to flatten out. But I rarely drive hard, so I really enjoyed the torquee feel. I also took some hard turns and noticed how much more planted this car felt. I thought about it for awhile last night - why I felt this way. And I came to a conclusion, its because I knew how far I could push the 350 and it was fun pushing it to its edge. In fact, it was pretty easy to get on the edge with the 350 (probably because of early torque delivery)which was why I had so much fun with it. But I can tell the 370's edge far surpasses the 350 and I have yet to see it. But being the driver I am, I'll probably rarely see it...I think I'll have to start autoX'ing to feed that hunger....
Yup, as I've said before, once you're dialed-in to a new ride vs one that was old and comfortable for you.......once that comfort level is reached with the new, superior ride, you'll wonder where all the negative vibes went.
