[B]I don't get the hangup people are having with the 8k redline.

 

Did I miss something.........where did Sonic Blue come from?

 

If there was an S2000 @ 12000rpm redline, I would sell my house to buy 50 of them.

VERY generally: HP= engine speed,
torque=engine power
(I repeat: VERY GENERALY)

So if we had a lightweight car (S2000) with 290hp @12000rpm (because the more rpms, the more hp you gain), in combination with a SHORT gear ratio...that would be amazing! The engine sound would be F1 style, but we would have to change oil, pistons, and valver, every month! So we can lower the redline, and increase torque (power) so the engine would be slower, but more powerfull. Then we have to change the gear ratio (longer), cause now the engine would be able to "turn" a smaller gear. Just like the mountain bike.
Finally I wanted to say that torque is not THAT necessary to a light car, but a BMW really needs some torque!

What the fvck language is that?!?!?

 

 

Haven't read all the posts, but what's the weight of the '04?

 

Stop talking about the torque and .2 displacement...... The new car has NEW GEARING!!!!!!!! Lets see that the new Gearing is taking advantage of the new cars Displacment...

[B]i dont know if itll be faster.....
regardless of the extra 163 tq that will be used to haul the extra .2 displacement

I will end you??



You need some grammar lessons....although I do like your use of two commas.
