They could have tuned the car for torque down low at the cost of high end but considering horsepower is a function of torque and RPM it makes a lot more sense to tune for the high end from a performance point of view. On a track you can generally keep the engine in a somewhat ideal RPM band so it's irrelevant. On the street it means you probably have to downshift more often. Apparently that's too much to ask some people.
