Don't believe everything that you see on the net. There are always secret agendas somewhere. If the HP really makes you sick, then change to a MT but does that really makes you happy?
You should be proud of your own 8, MT or AT. You should know what it can and cannot do. Everyone knows the potential of rotary. Don't be put down.
Anyway the torque curve looks funny to me.

But to my horror, I lost to every single Celica that was there that night...SS1 AT or SS2 AT....our 8 AT just didn't stand a chance. I was using manual shifting up to 7500rpm and torque braking method for my launch.
Now....there is a good 70bhp difference in power between the SS1 and 8...go figure that out...

No offense intended. Takumi drives a lower spec car.

Hi Bro,
I think they did not maxismise the power. I had my dyno at ST...(i think they still have my result)..when i first got the car.....its was 168HP @7000rpm.on the wheel ..Desmond did the test for me....maybe there is some kind of mistake

dyno vs on road performance are different me thinks. a lower spec car keiichi tsuchiya drove. won against cars which had more hp and probably better dyno results he did. total balance the key is.
