torque over here in North America is messured in pound feet and thats at a one foot radius how many pounds of force is produced. the one foot gives it leverage i think. In europe its messured in newton meters if i'm not mistaken. Torque gives you that kick back when you floor it from a stand still and hp is what gets you moving on the highway. More tq you have the more likely your gonna spin your tires.
am i wrong here? can someone back me up here?
wet weather trick... to see where your power bands really are take of in first gear from a stop slowly adding more and more gas until the wheel brake lose the first time (for me its around 2500rpm) then reduce gas to stop spinning and start bringing the rpms up again... once you get above the rpms the wheels spun at try adding more gas, next time the wheels brake lose should be your hp power band. For me its around 4600rpm. let me know what you guys get.. now ofcourse i can spin all the way to red buttheres really no point in that.
