Most people will never get to rev to those high numbers unless they hit a track or else on the streets it'll sound like your racing from one stop light to the next. The only upside from these 2.0 liters in my experience is MPG.
Toyota said the engine is free revving, but they never say that it's high end torque or something like that. There was once, people driving 50-100hp, with 100 lb ft or torque or else, they still can make it, why can't you?
Why don't see do some research on Boxer engine?
