:lol: Full torque is at 3,500rpm, meaning it's making boost around 2,000rpm. Got forbid you have to drop a gear to overtake someone. :lol:
If you want a lazy car, get an automatic. Or, get the EVO X FQ360 SST version.
I do have an automatic :'( (and kick myself in the ass over that decision even though I can change gears manually) You have to take into account where I drive. Generally speaking the cars run pretty tight and it's not easy to find an opening so to get around them you need something with good response, shifting down and accelerating takes more time than just accelerating. With a large displacement engine that makes torque very low in the rev range you can gain that .5 of a second that you need.
Like I said I like the car but I have been somewhat disillusioned by promises of large power out of small engines. I've driven powerful 4cyl and V8 and it's just completely different even if the power is about the same V8 is much more "useable".
