Whoever was talking about max torque meant full throttle, I think that was pretty clear.

Even then, I don't think 80% of people floor the gas on their cars. I don't know where you live, but where I live, just watching the cars on the road start and listening to the engines you can tell everyone is taking it easy. I've personally floored it 1 time when accelerating to highway speed from an emergency stop.
