And still more complete failure to even try to get it.
now now, there's no need to be defensive. you've got your instant torque, it just doesn't last all that long.
ps -
in terms of "not getting it" maybe figure out how dyno graphs really work. any vehicle can hit peak hp and torque in first gear and at lower speeds, they don't need to get up to full speed. dyno charts usually show hp/torque vs rpm to determine where the powerband is whereas the m5 graph you used showed a top gear run.
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.
