That it doesnt really make much difference to acceleration wether your 3/4 or fully on the throttle, any car iv ever owned, if you push the throttle down 1/2 - 3/4 of the way down and hold it, then suddenly push it the rest of the way, there isnt really a lot of difference other than using more fuel

i think you find the IDE engine that steve has in his megane actually produces more torque then the equivalent diesal in its class, due to the direct injection it produces 200nm

a 2.0l Petrol produces what circa 140 lb ft my GT makes more than that. a 2.0L TDi will make circa 220-240lb ft

no thats the F7R ordinary injection lump, steves is the IDE direct injection engine, you dont see many of em around actually and it does produce around that figure in torque
