DOHC engines typically make a lot less torque down low compared to peak. The shape of the torque curves increase linear like horsepower. It's going to be a different feel is all. Some will love it others will miss the truck torque feel. Some like Procharger for linear power, others like PD for the instant power. Same difference here...

Could be, I can't really say until I drive one. I have no doubt the torque curve is going to be different, just a matter of whether or not it provides enough torque to satisfy, coupled with a responsive transmission and gearing. Don't know if you've ever driven a Buick GN, but those had a unique feel due to the turbo lag and high boost. It was quite addicting once the boost started to build and it felt like you were rear ended by a high speed train once it got moving. Like you said, different feel but that rush of sudden power sure was addicting.
