regardless, it'll get beaten by a car with higher torque and at a comparable weight, straight line or at a track. if you are racing striaght line, it'll fall too far behind by the time it reaches optimal power . and on a race track you're not going to be shifting at redline and maintaining peak power while coming in and out of turns. in a 1700 lb lotus elise body the overall lack of torque is more than compensated for. but the type r weighs an extra half ton
