I've owned an RX-7 and an RX-8. They definitely didn't have flat torque curves. Even the twin sequential setup on the FC was far from flat.
But even if it was, that was the most powerful stock configuration made and it topped out at ~184 lb/ft. :)
Torque was never the strength of this motor.
- suprjami 3y agoI had a turbo FC and beg to differ. A dyno graph of a stock car also begs to differ.

They are fun engines, but low end torque just isn't their thing.
