The Atlantic engines are setup in a way that makes for a very narrow torqueband, true. But this is even a problem when its in the formula car, they still have to use high gearing etc to keep the engine on the boil. Its not something u can easily change when you build it into a Ae86.
The torque loss through a formula atlantic powertrain is also tiny. Lightweight wheels, differential, axles etc make a real difference. As does the absence of the greatest rotating mass: the propshaft. I have built an engine for a formula car from scratch before, trust me, it is just not something you'd want in a streetcar. A wheel to steer the front of the car A pedal to steer the rear |
