to the people complaining that the torque peak is too high, let's wait and see what the curve looks like. as serialk11r said, maybe it has an extremely flat curve up to the peak at 6600rpm.

can't wait to take one for a drive...
in my case having an NA engine was excatly my concern because of the lack of torque. as much as I want this car I'm really not happy with the engine option. 200hp is fine as long as it had 200lb tq like the GTI which
feels faster than it actually is.
Even Honda decided so stop using their low torque engine on the Civic SI.
they might be great track cars but they are a pain to live with in the real world.
If I get this car I'll have to supercharge it or turbocharge but then I'll have to deal with unreliability.
