The torque drops of as the revs rise so fast that it's not much use unless at low rpm ( which you're not when racing ) . So in other words it's a nice shopping engine or fine for crusing on the motorway . I doubt it's got 210 bhp at the wheels either , but a fare effort

The GTA is a funny beast...because its wide and low and not a buzz box like the 5 it doesnt appear as quick.....do it against the clock and not just on senses and you'll be suprised.
Barbon, which is a straightforward 2 corner hill is all about power and its where I am within grasp of a course record (this year)...currently held by an Evo8 with about 400bhp.
