You don't need torque when you have crazy short gearing

Torque as relative to HP? Or just in general?

What do you consider 'any'?

Torque is always relative to HP. Torque*RPM/5252=HP

You aren't supposed to show the fanboys the cool imports. The might get the silly notion that their cars fall into the same category.

I only make 30whp more than I do torque. Back on the stock turbo, I made 50tq more than HP.

They fall into the same category as Brabus. I like European cars a lot actually. I've had a few BMW's and while I'm not a fan of Mercedes its not because they aren't great cars its because we can't have the coolest models here. In Germany you can get almost any Benz including the AMG cars with a manual here not so much. Aston Martin's are awesome as well.

I don't know what you are trying to say with this really. The equation I posted is how HP is measured. HP is not measurable directly because it is a by product of Torque and RPM's.

It does when the IDL pops in and stirs up a bunch of **** with their "what ifs" and "I know of such and such car with XXX rwhp that would 'surprise' you blah blah blah"
