In the article they mentioned a strange word called "torque". What is "torque"?

"Stink" is right

Rather than calling it the "Worst Name Ever," I'd say it's the "Worst Engine Swap" ever. Thing is fast, no argument there. I get the "because I can" factor, but the result is a poorly tuned, hammer-for-screwdriver approach to going fast. Cool to see once, then it's done.

If someone built a tube-frame chassis powered by a well-tuned diesel drivetrain, it'd be cool. When someone cobbles together something like this that is obviously poorly tuned, the only thing I can do is shake my head and watch the exhaust valves burn. It's like watching a Civic on cut springs bouncing over RR tracks, or a dinged-up Corolla with an unpainted body kit

interesting swap.

watched some drag races at the 1/4 track of the turbo diesel trucks and their acceleration off the line is crazy for a truck that big. plus as an s2000 owner 1000+ tq does not compute lol
