[QUOTE="gimmie11s, post: 16260277, member: 17953"] Yes, gearing is an important part of the equitation. Torque? Nope, 0, nada. OP just proved it post 1 page 1, but the math has been saying that for decades. His car is 4500 lbs and makes under 500 tq. Why do you think a 4000lb diesel drag truck that makes 900hp/2000tq runs the same time/trap as a 4000 lb mustang making 900hp/600tq? [URL='http://www.themusclecarguy.net/horsepower-vs-torque-2/']Horsepower vs Torque - themusclecarguy.net[/URL] [i]"A couple of things, the more torque an engine makes at any RPM, will also result in more horsepower at the same RPM. Also, the higher the RPM that a torque value occurs at, the higher the horsepower number. In drag racing, as long as the gearing is correct, torque doesn’t matter, just horsepower. I know that sounds odd, but it is true."[/i] [/QUOTE]
