The standard NC puts down about 87 rwkw and weighs about the same as an NA8. Gearing probably also has something to do with it. I agree with the torque spread thoughts - my butt dyno tells me the NC is like a V6 compared to our previous NA8. :)

I thought it "Slow In - Fast Out" was the better method?


it really depends on the corner. In certain corners fast in slow out might be the better method, or might produce similar results.

Although generally slow in fast out would produce faster times.
