I think both aspects can be fun though. I love the dual nature of the S65---you have to be committed to get the car to feel fast. Otherwise it kind of feels pedestrian. Which is nice when you're intentionally trying to drive sedately or intentionally trying to drive fast. OTOH, the 6.4L motor in the Jeep is just hellacious fun because it always feels like it's ready to go. You don't need to rev it up to wake it up.
