Oh I bet that torque's there at 2000rpm, but only after you've pegged the throttle and waited for half a lifetime. I don't know how people stand turbo motors in sports cars, the lack of throttle response robs the cars of so much fun and character.
But if you don't have a turbo, you end up with a price/emissions design compromise like the engine in the BRZ. Most customers seem to prefer the lag + high torque to a quicker throttle response + lower torque.
