I'm trying to remember the other old saying... Something like Torque moves you off the line, hp pushes you thru the gates or finish line... or Torque takes you ### mph, hp licks your asshole... nope can't remember |

Torque is the twisting force applied to the transmission from the crankshaft. HP is a function of torque at a given RPM.(were you sleeping earlier in the thread?)

The torque turns the transmission, the transmission multiplys the torque(not the HP) at a certain RPM and this creates speed.

I love both...just one more than the other at different times. I love torque around town and hp out on the open road.
My Vette has excellent torque way down low in the rpm range which makes it such a nice hot little street car. The supercharger I picked for it was for the street therefore great torque but not really high peak HP. The little Neon SRT-4 in the garage has good torque for a little 4 banger...I was really surprised with how much it has. Most little 4 bangers are torque deficient like the Honda S2000 however the Honda makes up for it with the higher revving engine since it winds all the way to 9k rpm. Of course the Honda is a nicer car period...not even talking about that. The R1 has a little torque being a litre bike but not really much to brag about but the hp is excellent. The R6 plain and simple lacks torque...wind that baby up and it will stroll...good track bike. The boat...all about the torque with that one. |
