I was just asking what the torque numbers were. Plus apparently he did need it because he lost the majority of the races.

Torque is not what accelerates your car, its hp. The weight of a vehicle plays more of a role that torque. Not saying that torque isnt important, but waaaaaay overrated.
This isnt a tractor pull contest. Its a roll race, where torque is not important!
Definately not a rookie, but you wouldnt know that. plus I do agree that it has alot to do with power to wieght ratios. Not always how much power the car can make. But same people prefer dig races not roll races. And thats where torque comes in handy. But what do I know Im a rookie.

Torque will win you the first 60ft, thats about it. Tell me when has torque been a deciding factor in a race.
I've been in plenty of races where a cars torque if more than 200ftlb more than mine and I was right there with em until my hp comes into play. A car with 500ftlb and 100hp will still run 16sec 1/4 times.

Considering my friend with a b16 fully built civic(full interior) that made 505rwhp and 274ftlb ran a 10.8 at 136mph, I would say 10's low 11's.
