The objective "actual performance", just using the X3M as a baseline, is going to be brutally fast and capable. Whether it feels as fast and the driving feel meets every individual preference... it probably will disappoint those looking for a raw experience.

What does the "perceived" turbo lag even mean? Are you implying it's not laggy but only perceived so?
Quite the opposite, the laggy cars normally get better 0-60, 1/4 mile numbers than what they're capable of in the real world, because in the testing, the 4wd grips off the line and the launch control mask the turbo lag well.
