An interesting side note about the RS46. I was comparing the HP and Torque curves of the 4.6 motor to the 997 GT3 and if you don't take into account the different figures in HP/Torque and just overlay the dynos right on top of each other, they are nearly identical.

The way the RS46 motor lays down power is the same as the 997 GT3. The peak, drop-off and shape of the curve is almost dead on.

The E9X stock is a very flat curve, compared to a GT3 and the RS46. Not sure if it's a good or a bad thing.
Hahaha!! I wouldn´t know if that is good or bad either, however, the longer the curve as long as it is flat or increasing the better IMO. I would also say increasing is better than flat in general.
