sure, there are more expensive and less reliable options, but the smart people don't choose them

only as much as is needed, you know as well as I do that HP > TQ and the S65 is about HP and revs and still goes to 8300RPM with the S/C and makes power all the way there. I hate all of the low-end TQ that my N54 makes (which is more than a S/C'd S65) with software, it's impossible to get the car off the line quickly without spinning the tires.

I think it's like 380 or something, it's just at or below the limit of what the DCT can safely handle also.
