OP, if your car MT or Auto. I'm assuming auto, so I will reference the Supra and its' videos. The B58 may have better low end grunt, but the major thing to take into consideration here is the 8 speed ZF vs the 7 speed DCT. That 1 extra gear means shorter overall gears, and shorter gears mean faster acceleration. The Supra shifts up through so many gears during acceleration. The super short gears combined with the twin scroll single turbo, means it will have better off the line performance.

I think the key factor here is the ZF8 vs the DCT. The S55 is a fantastic motor.
