In the interest of more fairness, the new Accord's 2.4L shares very little with the TSX's 2.4L engine. They share similar blocks, but most everything else is completely different. The TSX's engine is tuned for high-rpm power, and that is evident in the graph. Its power peak is at 6,800 rpm and its torque peak is at 4,500 rpm; both figures demonstrate that this engine is a fast spinner.
The Accord has the K24W3, which still produces maximum power at a high rpm (6,700), but produces maxiumum torque at 3,900 rpm.
Oh that comparison was just to make a point, which you confirmed - where the onset of max torque is. That was the only point. The ford gets it at 1500 vs 3900...
But the point is the same.
