That is not a stock or lightly modified engine.
They do have low torque. I can grab some random video off the internet showing an all motor CRX running a 12 second quarter mile. That doesn't mean that Honda makes high powered 4-cyl engines.
a 280ZX non-turbo can blow away a 1st gen RX7 without even trying. ...or with trying

I liked my RX7, but it's that damn seal that goes out, can't leave em parked for more than 6 months or so, or the seal might go bad... then if you can find someone to fix it,... I'll keep a Z, one day, I'll take a RX motor a part and try to put it back together, maybe it will run... LOL

Also, races are frequently won or lost in the first couple seconds (especially drag racing), so don't be so dismissive about the usefulness of torque. It's also what helps pull the car out of corners too.
