Re: Area under the power curve

I personally don't value something that starts low with a bunch of torque, but rather something that doesn't fall out of power between shifts. I know of cars that don't begin making power until like 5k and peak power occurs at like 6k. So when they shift, they fall out of the powerband.

But I know I don't begin to make power until 4k and it makes good power to 6k at least. So When I shift, I end up right back at 4k for second and then 4.5k for the rest. Seems to work and I don't even come close to making boost in daily driving. NTM it hits like hell.haha
