And torque is good for pulling tree stumps out of the ground. Do you use your car to pull up many tree stumps?
I will have to disagree, a slight depression of the throttle puts it into it's peak power band (1500 - 3500 rpm) and it kicks you back into your seat like there is no tomorrow.

And when I'm cruising at 80 units of speed and put my foot down, I can be doing 100 units of speed in about 1.5 seconds. Impressive machine.
