Exactly, the CTR will still pull you well enough in any gear at any speed and like ive always said if you want to be flat out then whats its matter anyway, i went from the CTR to something with 300lbs torque @3000rpm and while its quite lazy and boring ( in comparison ) i still don't believe the CTR was lacking really still very good!
