Peak power is the least interesting figure
Everyone quotes the headline number because it is easy to compare. The part your customer actually notices is the torque arriving lower down, and the car holding a gear where it used to drop one.
That is what we write for, and it is why we ask for a log rather than a thumbs up. A car that feels quick on the way back from the workshop can still be two hundred revs out where it matters.
