Actually straight sixes have always made their torque at low rpm, just like big block gas motors. It's been proven over the years.
That has more to do with straight sixes having a longer stroke due to its design rather than just because it is a straight six. You put the same long stroke on a V8 and it would produce the same low end torque.
That's why I said a big block gas motor works the same way. There is just something about a straight 6 that makes low rpm torque with very little HP.
