but isnt hp a measurement of torque and rpms? meaning you have to either have lots of torque or high rpms to make a car fast.. i dont understand where these curves on dynos come from tho, are they from the engine or from switching gears? like what makes a torque or hp curve..
im going to go read several articles on tq/hp/rpm and get more educated, then i will be back

Also two stage intake manifold or now modern german cars have mulistage intake manifolds. And some sportbikes and fancy euro cars have multistage mufflers. They can be controlled by the ECU to alter torque of the engine. The r18 has a two stage intake manifold that allows for a flatter higher rpm torque range. I would guess then next gen Si will have at least a 2 stage or multistage intake manifold.
