I think of Tim Allen whenever I see posts on peak. Not that there is anything wrong with wanting to build something with the goal of maximizing the peak. But I am like you I would give up 10% at the top for a curve that gave me 25% more almost to the top.

The obsession of peak over curve might come from the average age of the Z driver? I bet it is older than Honda drivers but less than Vettes...likely averaging the same as 'Stang drivers with a more narrow range. No...I am not slamming youth. It is just that younger people tend to view things differently and as I already said...there is nothing wrong with that!
