Eh, i like to rev my engines. But each to their own. Perhaps one of our european friends will make the swap one day. I will keep my eye out. I wonder if they are a much heavier engine.

If thats what you like you could always swap a diesel into your FRS

I dont agree.

The hp and tq will always intersect on dynos. Im unsure of how
You can say its not really a great thing. Would you rather have 250whp and 200lb ft of torque? Or 250/280 like in my old tC? And if by peak you mean from 3000 rpm to 6800 increase sharply then okay it def peaked lol.

v8? that shit is an inline 4. motor stock handles about 300/300. nothing impressive for sure.
