thats interesting tell me more

Well Lets not guess here maybe he isn't trying to diss my car, maybe he really wants to know more... Well first off my car even tough hp rating is a bit low, (compared to other cars today)..

Horsepower: 275 hp @ 5000 rpm
Torque: 325 ft-lbs @ 2000 rpm

This car has LOTS of very low end torque.

Some car makers go for hp and hp:litre. and some go for low end torque, both have their upsides. low end torque helps over come drag when accelerating and getting weight moving, (where it's need most). but poor gasmilage. higher hp from less litre, first off helps sell cars, alot of hp and good gas milage. Accelerating usly isn't as good depending on the weight of the car. and after the weight gets moving it can get to higher speed.

I'm sure if you look into this you can find out me...

Anything wrong? correct me.
