I don't believe were falling into any trap, its just what we prefer, just as you prefer a more useable powerband. We're not out to break any records or brag about hp numbers. A huge powerband isn't what we're looking for. Top end, high horsepower is the goal. A 6,500 redline may not even allow for full boost with the turbos we'll be running, so any additional rpm will be quite useful. I doubt anything as high as 12,000, but maybe 8,500 or 9000.
The car wont be a "daily driver," but more of a car meant for scaring the hell out of people.
