I thought this was interesting. Maybe this is old news, but the dual throttle body on the S650 is to house the carbon traps now required. He talks about why at the 6:30 mark.
They felt the dyno pulls accurately support the 500hp crank rating. Their explanations seem reasonable to me.

This is it, what the hell does it do? How does it trap carbon?

At least it’s easy to remove lol.

what point do we start turning into our dads and not even want a newer car? My ZL1 has so many electronic cheats on it i almost feel guilty at times. I wouldn’t mind a more analog experience, but am spoiled to the safety and absolute planted chassis

I’m already there. Zero desire for a new car.

Carbon traps and probably at least 4 cats - Saving the planet one S650 at a time!

Analog...This is why the two cars I technically own are a 2003 and 2007. lol (F-150 is a company vehicle and Fiesta is my chick's although I pay for everything but the gas...usually.)
