If that Firebird is popping wheelies, an S2000 is no comparison.

Oh, man... somebody has got to photoshop an S2000 doing a wheelstand on drag slicks just to use as a comeback for this comment.

[QUOTE=mxt_77,Sep 24 2004, 02:22 PM] Wouldn't that be the same as:

Torque = HP * 5252 / rpm

In that case, Torque is a function of HP.

It feels as if the car has a lot of power to move off from a stop or at slow speeds.

You can probably do a search on google or something for a more scientific explanation.

[QUOTE=Intrepid175,Sep 24 2004, 05:31 PM]I agree with ha-evolution's definition in that we're more likely to "feel" the torque curves than the Hp curves.
