Very good ones though.



This is why MarioGTR (of exvitermini.com) never quotes torque figures. They don't matter.



But try telling that to our local muscleheads.

Like I always say:

"I have plenty of torque, and I don't have to shift at 3500 to use it."

But a broader torque band will create a broader horsepower band, will it not?



This is why most Hondas even with high HP peaks are not fast. (250 at 9000 RPM, sounds fast, but it aint)
