What does "STR" mean?

STR stands for Stall Torque Ratio. Basically, STR is torque multiplication. If a car has a higher STR, it will feel tighter on the street because the converter is multiplying the input torque by a higher number. It will also give a harder punch out of the hole. STR is created by two components inside the converter moving at different speeds. Shortly after launch, those components reach an equal speed eliminating STR completely.
