I have been in a few Si's and they didnt have hardly any torque, unless it was revved to within an inch of its life. It may have the same torque as a Zetec, but its so far up in the powerband that it doesnt help when you take off from a traffic light.
These comments are always made from someone who has never actually driven one. Revving to eight grand in a Si or GSR is not the same as revving to a comparable RPM in your Ford. The gearing makes all the difference.
The Hondas/Acuras naturally have shorter gearing to help compensate for the lack of low-end torque and the higher power peak.
Me, I'll keep my torque plateu and show them my tailights
