My peak torque is around 2500 rpm. Horsepower peaks around 5k for me.

And I like weird, complicated things I have to think about, which is part of why I drive a manual. Downshifting from sixth to fifth, hearing the engine go up in pitch, and feeling that extra torque feels like it would be more fun than just mashing a pedal.

Do they make manual transmission electric cars?

    There are cars that have paddle up/down shift, and mimic semi-auto cars. A number also have different engine sounds you can choose from 😀

    It's all simulated and slower, of course, but apparently a lot of fun.
