TBH, I'm not sure of any car with a reasonable sized engine that has
peak torque at 5krpm.

peak BHP on a normal family car with a petrol engine is normally arround
the 5-6krpm unless it is a VTEC/VVTi variable timing type engine in
which case it is higher.

The 2.0 Vtecs seem to have peak power and torque at
normal revs, and the Type S and S2000 are higher.

Same technology, widely different implementations for different design
goals. The S2000 is something outrageous like 220bhp, normally aspirated...
I think these and the Type S engines are the ones supposedly hand-built by
just two guys in Japan.
