Dude chill out. First of all, peak torque (espicially if the torque curve is really flat) at a low rpm is good, because most of the time you don't want to run your car up to the limit of it rev range. Second, everything likes something different, and skylines/lancers et al have drawback too, every thing with cars is cause and effect, you like active diffs, awd, turbos, well you get weight and off-throttle bog and turbo lag. So, give it a rest dude, just enjoy everthing about cars instead dumbass sniping comments about how X is so much better than Y, it just makes you sound like an uneducated buffoon. Finally, the Corvette C5 Z06 is probably the best bang for the buck sports car ever made, and its made in the U.S. I don't even like Corvettes that much, but look at it 400+ hp, lightweight, sexy coupe styling, longstanding pedigree, whats not to like, except your ignorant bias?
