Makes perfect sense to me that the N/A LFX V6 would pull away in mid and especially upper rpms. The 3.6 has a nice flat torque curve across the rpm range so I think for an N/A V6 it has decent low end torque, but not quite what some of the modern turbo 4 cylinders. It definitely hits a good stride up top.

That said, the T4s are made to have that good low to mid range grunt but they tend to run out of steam on the high end. My wife's small SUV has a turbo 2.0 and it is fun and peppy enough on the low end, it goes good! But put it in manual mode and try to rev it and you can tell it is lacking on the upper end..
