Notice nothing? That's right it has no torque, but you do feel something at the higher rpms. That's horsepower.
Drive any V6 or V8 and punch it off the line.

Not always the case. I'm driving a Dodge Magnum rental with a 2.7 V6 right now. My Si would slaughter this slow beast. Dodge should just avoid making this car. It only has 190 hp and 190lbs torque. All I know is I fear merging into traffic. A Hyundai Accent can give me a good run for my money.
