I also test drove a 63 and from my opinion, easily out grunts the 55. That's just an opinion from a driver of a 55. MPG is definitely an issue with the N/A 63, but hey, that's why I got an economy daily driver A bunch of my neighbors got some crazy cars, but a good number of them also have Prius'.
Torque is still king. Though I could see the 7-speeder getting off the line quicker due to gearing.
