no_really - above you were stating that if given two identical cars with the same peak horsepower at different rpms (6000 and 9000), the one with greater torque is faster. I proved above that torque does not play a role in determining which car is faster, horsepower is what determines which is faster.

The only one you are convincing with your posts is apparently yourself. You have a very vague grasp on high school physics, and you like to throw around some phrases that are sometimes correct, sometimes incorrect but mostly contradictory.
While your posts were entertaining for a while, now they have become simply annoying. Face it: you will NOT convince the rest of the intelligent world that you're right with your quasi-formulas, contradicting statements and half-baked examples.
This thread has some great posts by a couple of people that include some hard facts. You cannot expect to be taken seriously when you respond to hard physical facts and formulas with "work is force over distance" in one post and "work is force over time" in another.
I applaud your enthusiasm though, and suggest a physics course in your local community college. Perhaps everything will be clearer then.
