But it's in a 3500# vehicle, and it's about area under the curve and the torque curve. Find me another 2.5 NA motor that runs on 87 octane and provides such a meaty torque curve.
185 lbs of torque? Meaty? LMAO! May not find that torque, but the examples are by the handful, and most come from almost 20+ years ago...
I'll go deeper, the 2.5 NA should be producing what the turbo is producing now, sans the 310ft/lb torque. It would easily do it, too...
I don't want to get yrwei on another binge, but the 2.0L may have been a better platform for the turbo engine, and it could easily produce the numbers they're getting as well...
This Skyactiv-G is a good one, I totally agree, not trying to say that it isn't, but it's not even close to one of the best 4 cylinders ever made, it doesn't even make the Top 5, and it never will...
