-
- i was wondering, and have always wondered. Just what does horespower and
- torque translate to? i mean does horsepower give you top-end and torque
- bottom, or what? I have looked at torque and hp curves, and i still am
- confused.
-
- Example, what would the difference between a car with 100 hp and 100
- ft-lbs, and the same car with 200 hp and 100ft-lbs? or the same car with
- 100hp and 200ft-lbs?
-
- Please explain, i know that is probably alot more complicated than i think!
-
- thanks
