The SC car has a linear torque curve that is not flat.
The Turbo car is only flat within the boost threshold. If you look at the *entire* powerband, it is not flat.
(relatively) Flat torque curve:
Not flat at all torque curve. Well, actually it's flat-ish if you look from 4000 to redline, but in a bad way; the torque keeps dropping from 4000 to redline.:
