the B6 on a 2057 is buttery smooth...it actually feels a little tame, but at the same time its deceptively fast and can get you into trouble if your not careful

edit: what we found on the 2057 is that the engine is less snappy on the low end...it doesn't lag or sag, but rather is very progressive getting into the power..... Everyone who drives always comments how calm and predictable it feels...Had a few comment that it doesn't really feel overly powerful.... However at the same time the engine will effortlessly overshoot jumps and kill nearly everything down the straights..... With the 2057 there is no big spikes in the power delivery and it really helps to keep the buggy planted allowing you to actually use the power the engine has.... Nick is used to a more aggressive feeling engine, so he initially felt the Clocked B6/2057 was lacking, but it didn't take him long to realize how effortlessly he was taking the holeshot, overshoothing jumps and literally running over guys back ends on the straight... One time it caught him off guard and he badly rear ended another buggy with a Pro-Mod Speed in it about 2/3 down the straight.... After that is when we started to realize how fast the engine really was.....IMO its the best buggy engine I have ever had my hands on.....
