Its not at *top speed*. You lose hp/tq across the entire RPM range. I almost bought a used IX MR when I was car shopping but why pay 30k for a 3 year old car when I can get a brand new MS3 for 23k OTD with a better interior and the same straight line speed?

I would never buy a car for its ability to have a high top speed.
Because if you remember, these are street cars so when you drive on the street, handling and acceleration are all that matters in performance.
Still I would take a G8 and whoop both with more comfort and size then both as well.
