Guess who joined the 2L club?



HP is not the same as torque...
Also, he didn't specify just HOW FAR off idle....(I suppose 3500rpm could be considered "off idle", since it's not idling..)

  Eh-whaaa?? Are you sure about this? Last time I checked the 2l torque peak
  was ~132hp at ~4000 rpm while the 1.8l torque peak was ~123hp at ~4250
  rpm. Yes, the powerband of the 2l is much broader but I can't see it
  making 123hp at idle!! That would kick ass, though!
