I also believe the X3M is underrated a bit more and has 20-30 more hp on the top end than the quads do.
That torque hole you mentioned plays no role when you use LC. I think it’s mostly Stelvio’s lower weight and also X3’s launch was far from perfect. I’m actually not sure if he used the LC at all or simply brake torqued it. X3M has the best high end hp curve in it’s class and that’s why I love it so much. Absolute beast at high rpms.
