welll. if you have a smallish engine (like 2L and under) and you have peak torque at 4000rpm, do you think you will have a flat torque curve to 9000rpm?? probably not.

what i should have said is that i'd rather have a 2-3000rpm range of peak torque from about 6500-8500, rather than 4000-6000, but i didn't really want to be that specific..

i was more referring to having a 'normal' motor that peaks early then dies off, compared to a more cammed motor, which peaks later.

if you habe the same torque at double the revs, gear it down half, etc etc...

also response will be much better at high revs than at low revs.. so......

i woulnd't want to have to drive to melbourne with it, but around sydney, i'd much rather have a high revving motor than a low rev grunter (and hey.. i do Smile

)

and staying in gear longer?? i can't count the number of times i've caned bigger cars thru first and second, as i go up to about 7500-8000rpm... while 'newer' cars seem to change around 5-6000.....

gimme a pm and we can go for a drive Smile

oh, and then again, just having been taken for a drive in a boxster S.. they look dainty but they have a whole lot of torque... and the 6spd lets you use it (and redline is around 7krpm..) but the german motors always seem to have a much flatter torque curve than japanese designed ones....

but on the other hand, (and from the torque thread, heh heh Wink

) i'd rather be making my peak torque at 9000rpm than at 4000rpm.. stay in gears longer and make use of the gearing advantage..

Dude I don't know where the hell you are comming from with that statement!!
Would you not rather have the max amount of pulling power down low and relatively flat until redline so as to be able to get good acceleration from even down low in the rev range??
Shit If I had to wait until 9k rpm for max torque I would want that sucker of an engine to be spinning to at least 15k rpm!!
Or am I missing the point or something???
Anyone else see a problem with the above statement??
