Depends....even if you have a high torque rating if the torque band range isn't flat and most of them are available at very high RPM, that wouldn't do it either.

Example:
Your engine is rated at 200HP *7500RPM and 200 ft-lb of torque *6000RPM and only 75 ft-lb of torque is available from 4000RPM and below, you'd call that car torqueless since you have to rev it up past 4000rpm to get the most of your torque.

High RPM car like the S2000 is good if you are in the track or on the freeway but again, you have to go up in the rev range to get the most of your engine. Not to mention, runninng your engine at 6000-9000rpm is not something that i would like to do every so often even if it was rated to go that way. I mean, for every day driving, i would try to get more mileage and try not to abuse the engine (imagine if your car is driven hard at 6-9K rpm for a few years before you sell it, that would affect the durability of the engine).
