Geez. That's not a curve. Our tq curves like Pam Anderson's chest. That looks as curvy as Napoleon Dynamite's chest

Ha! Yes. Its kinda more a "torque table" than a torque curve.

Its just wild that it shoots up to 300 Ft Lb at the wheels just as soon as I tip into it. You can imagine what that's like to drive.

It's pretty fun having tons of torque on tap at any rpm.

With our 944V8, I was always finding myself at about 1300rpms-1500rpms in 4th or 5th, doing about 30mph.... then mashing the throttle to feel 90% of the available torque pull hard from just above idle!

On the track, you would eliminate probably 50% of your gear changes compared to a turbo 951.
