Youre retarded theres this thing called torque look it up. Being able to rev to 9k doesnt mean shit when you make 110 ft lbs of torque

theres also this thing called hp. it basically takes over after all your torque is done. m4d vtak yo!! you are probably lighter than he is, but not by much. while you may take him in first gear and about half way through second, you will lose to his vtak. unless you use your gas, then its over. but gas is for pussies, and should only be used as a last resort to make more power.

im done with this thread now, i dont feel like arguing over the interweb. if you reply, which most likely you will, you are an idiot. why would you reply after I said I wasnt gona come back?

Youre a fucking stupid kid you dont have horsepower without torque. Torque moves you not horsepower you dont know dick.Bottles are for pussies? Ya thats why tons of people use them huh? Turbos must be for pussies to then.

Taken right outta the text book!!

The car that makes HP at a higher RPM will usually accelerate faster because it can use a higher gear ratio and the higher ratio gives it more mechanical advantage. Most people think that you want to gear a car and drive it so that
you shift at or near the power peak. But the concept of the mechanical advantage obtained from a higher gear ratio means that you will accelerate faster in a lower gear (higher ratio) well past the point at which you could shift into the next gear at an engine RPM where the HP would be much higher. The same is true whether we are talking about final gearing or transmission gears. All other things being equal, given similar HP numbers, the engine that makes the HP at higher RPM will accelerate a car faster as it can utilize gearing that provides a greater mechanical advantage. More turns of the engine per turn of the wheel produces more force at the wheel whether you look at it in terms of HP or torque.

That has nothing to do with what I said I said horsepower is calculated from torque So why did you post all that? Textbooks dont teach you to build cars hands on experience does
