Oh lord yes. Stock for stock there is no comparison.

 

Torque is helpful, but large amounts of torque is not necessary. Is that better?

 

LOL! Yeah, maybe if you plan on . . . . . wait . . . no . . . having more torque would help out there too.

Welp . . . I'm stumped . . .

Yeah, it's helpful. Especially since horsepower is a mathematical equation where one of the variables is torque. lol



P = Power, hp
N = Rotational shaft speed, rpm
T = Torque, lb-ft

 

-wow, one of the most idiotic quotes ever. Without torque, your car would never leave the line. Infact there would be no horsepower without torque, like yarou said.

 

what many people (mainly honda drivers) fail to realize is that there exists a relationship between hp and tq where one (hp) should not be substantially grater than the other (tq).

and if your ka doesn't respond well to simple bolt ons then you're doing something wrong.

 

You know what I meant jack ***. My honda only weighed 1900 pounds, unlike my bulky 240 so I didn't need big amounts of torque to move the car.

 

You know what I meant.

 

Depending on how the motor is built. Most built cars have a substantial amount of horsepower compared to torque.

 

sorry but after shooting yourself in the foot with this statement i have a hard time giving any further statement from you on this matter any serious consideration.

btw i notice you edited it.

 

Yea. What I meant and what I typed didn't come out the same.

 

^
i do it all the time and either ry or stig get on my case about it.

 

thats apparent

 

That's completely untrue, if you look at WRC for example there is a horsepower limit at what I believe(don't remember) to be 300hp. However their torque ranges between 400-500 or even more. It's also untrue for engines that are meant to pull things, semi trucks for example and other construction vehicles. Honda's have more hp than tq simply because of their valve timing and flat torque curve.

 

trucks use have much more torque because of the type of uses the have such as pulling hauling and so forth. cars on the other hand... well never mind i gotta go take care of some business.
