      You know why I like the Ecotec motor more? Usable torque curves. Actually, I could almost say "torque LINE"

      I dunno, that dyno chart starts @ 3500rpm...pretty high for "normal" driving. I find the torque below 3000rpm pitiful in my 2010. I'd give up a few HP at 5000+rpm for better low-end torque, but I'm sure I'm in the minority; peak numbers sell more cars than a wider torque curve.
