Let's say you have two cars with 500 HP each - one is called Ricer (turbocharged 4 cylinder) and the other one is called Redneck (massive V8).

Who wins? Read on...

Horsepower and Torque

It helped me, mortal, to understand a couple of concepts many of you have a good handle on already.

I remember we had a thread on Horsepower vs Torque long ago.

A few physics teachers and professors jumped in and started correcting each other.

That's 95% of what I learned in college, all summarized in one web page. The other 5% can be found in the "mornig BJ" thread.

Who would have available comparative HP and torque curves for BMW 335i, BMW M3, Dodge Charger RT8, and Mitsu EVO?
