It tells you a lot about absolute performance.

The power under the curve and gearing is the rest of the story.

You don't need to know gearing to know about acceleration performance. Power (and weight, of course) is enough.

And under that curve, the BRZ makes more power than the S2000.

The 2000 makes more power, period. And of course it also has a lot more "under the curve", too!

I am fully aware of what happens once the F20C gets into its stride (above 6k rpm). I am only referring to down low, presumably under 4k rpm, since I assume the OP is still within break in period.

Ah, but the infamous 4k dip...
I know what you're getting at, but honestly when I've test driven the fr-s, I expected it to feel torquier than my AP1 at real-world normal street driving rpm. It really didn't, to me.

Again, up top is a different story.

Quite!
