Now as you add a body, say at 125 lbs each (the weight of my wife, daughter or 1 of my 3 boys) I imagine the S, with its higher TQ, can absorb the additional weight that much better and deliver less of impacted experience?

I guess Im leading the witness buy I want to go 0-60 in 3.5 sec regardless of how many passengers or groceries I have!!

It will however be rare if ever that we perform an all out ***** to the wall traffic light launch to 60 or more from a dead stand still. You can absolutely terrify the general public with this kind of acceleration as very, very, few people have experienced anything like it.
I launched a '16 Z06 that I used to own with a friend who had never ridden in anything faster than a C4 Corvette and caused him to go into what appeared at first to be a seizure. The average person is not ready for this stuff. You don't even wanna guess about how bad you could scare a child or your wife with a Turbo S if you were fortunate enough to own one.
