Horsepower is torque x speed. 455 hp is a peak that happens at high rpm. Yo don't make 455 hp until the engine is at its peak torque

Having said that, GM V8s are torque monsters that pull hard even below 2000 rpm.

However, if you are accustomed to turbocharged cars with flat torque curves, you are understandably concerned. People talk about turbo lag, but in fact, turbo cars pull harder at low rpm.
