It was taken from the training manual that came out, after someone translated it from Japanese to English, though of course it's assuming that the JDM model will be identical to ours. I remember the peak torque being reached at 6600 rpm, but despite that high rev, hopefully the curve will be reasonably flat.

This car has been hyped for too long. It will now be a major letdown (that is underpowered and hard to modify)

With that said, I would love to see them on the streets, they look very nice!

Is it just me or do those pics look more like a coupe? I thought it was going to be a hatchback.

A built motor with individual throttle bodies and race gas should net about instant HP. This on a 2600lb car with an LSD would be load and loads of fun.

Who said that? Do you really think that it (badged as a Scion in the U.S.) would be a $40k car?

The 2003 evo had better power to weight than this weeny car. That's not everything, sure, but this is an evo forum, we like speed. /rant
