Yet still, the power/torque output is just pathetic. At 1200 rpm it's almost non existant. That is not to say that it's useless - many is the day I will be crawling along in 1st or 2nd gear at or just above idle, and no problems scooting right up to regular rpms as soon as I put my foot in it. But that's gearing. Try the same thing in 3rd, 4th, or 5th, and I'll be going nowhere fast.
Maybe you have a 2.3lT with a nice low torque peak, but even so that's not until 1800 rpm or so. I guess it's conceivable, but even in my car, with it's torque peak around 3000 rpm, for max acceleration I definitely want to be right around or preferably above the torque peak, not 50% below it!
