alexkiller8 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
the current 3.4L engines usually are projected to produce power to the highest rev possible. With this kind of displacement is useless to build a 3.4L engine mid-low revlimit if however won't develope a lot of torque.
The 458 GT is powered by a modified F142 set to reach max power in a lower revlimit than the road/gt3 version, with the aim to maximize the availabe torque. For this reason, even restricted, the engine developes around 520-540Nm with a revlimit under 6500! (the gt3 version revlimit is around 8000rpm)
