If torque don't mean squat then whats the purpose of bigger gears, normally when people get bigger gears (bigger gears give more torque) they get better 0-60 times?

Not flaming anyone just asking cause I have no idea.

Where are all of the vids you talk about? Where are your time slips? Im sure you dont have anything to show us do you. I can back my **** up can you? You seem more like the here is you.
You'll **** on my bike AND my vette, huh? Not with your 11 second timeslip. You better get that ******* peice of **** in the 10's.

Run better than a 10.63 @ 127.48

I am not going to ******* scan timeslips, dyno sheets, or whatever. I'm sorry, but your not going to get a "wow, badass S2000" from me. On my way back from the dyno one day I came across a heavily modded S2000. I'd say it was similar to yours. I doubt it ran as fast at the 1/4th, but it was definately something. I ******* wasted that thing about 4 times in a row. Get the **** out with that ****.

Gears won't necessarily give you more power, they enable you to move the power band to the left.

Which enables you to be quicker down the 1/4th. So torque is extremely important in being fast. Gears usually lower your horsepower, but make you faster. So in your stupid horsepower over torque arguements, how do you explain that?

Like I said, show me a time slip where you ran better then a 11.3 on stock tires. Its great that you race a SC s2k that has 300rwhp I will show you a 10 sec time slip very soon. What will you have to say then?

Do you understand what you just said. "Gears usually lower your horsepower, but make you faster"

Gears enable you to move the powerband to the left of the dyno curve. It does not give you less hp, it gives you less top end(depending on what gears you want). So in essence, you make your powerband sooner in the rpm's.

A typical example would be someone with X mods and dynoes at 450rwhp. Change the stock 3.42 gear to 4.10's and you will likely see LESS hp. I've seen it a million times. You will see a lot of poeple tell their horsepower numbers and say "and that was through 4.10's" indicating that it would more horsepower had they stayed with stock 3.42's. The gear increase will knock several tenths off their 1/4th time. So basically their power will be lower, but their car will be faster. What don't you understand? Again, you and other ricers need to learn that peak horsepower numbers don't mean **** in racing.
