If mainly city, you would rarely reach high revs but highway on the other hand, is better to have more power on the higher rpms. But that's just my opinion.

Mostly city commuting, but would having lots of power in the low revs be a problem?

Like for example getting off a light then going into a turn on a wet day, woudnt having most of the power in high revs be better?
