    This guy reckons there is a delay when you hit the throttle , the 355 has NO hesitation, you hit the throttle and she goes immediately.

    I do remember slight hesitation in the GT4 but I think the presenter is wrong with a noticable hesitation.

    In saying that carbs are rubbish, FI was the best thing to happen to engines :p
