Almost all areas of this article are the things we have discussed here.
Nice to see someone put it in a nice neat concise package.

...and more specifically, area under the portion of the curve you are operating over.
An S2000 has good top-end hp, and can be shifted to stay above 6000 rpm where the good portion of the torque curve is available. That works at a track, but you tend to feel a little silly revving it like that on the street all the time.

Sure doesnt look silly on the track though (or sound silly!)
I think Hp-seconds would be the only change i would make to the article.

Shawn,
Are you saying that I look silly on approach to my residence running 6000 RPM??? I thought all my neighbors really liked my car (explaining all the stares and finger pointing).
PS I love VB/cashmere
