Does the VQ35 pull to 8000 RPM? If so, then that may not be an issue since I would hope that 11 years later Nissan is doing things comparable to VTEC. (I was a big Datsun fan but Nissan long ago lost my interest, so I don’t know what they have.) However, "broad" means it pulls over a wide RPM range. "Flat" means it pulls nearly as had at both ends as in the middle. So, even if the VQ35 has a nice flat torque band, it may not have as broad a power band as the NSX. But it very well may have. The real point was that peak numbers are potentially very misleading.RyRy210's comment about drive train losses is another good point. Most of what we've seen suggests that the NSX is far above average in this area.
