2. 185 lb-ft @ 6500

Seems pretty broad and flat, to me. Unfortunately simply 30 down on the better motor, across the board.

So anyone know what the physical differences are?
200lb-ft out of a 3.0L engine is pretty bad in today's standard. I'm gonna have to actually drive it, but I expect the real world acceleration will be noticeably slower than my chipped WRX.
