indeed.

 

well ill be at E city friday night. you are welcome to join me

 

isnt that only an 1/8?

 

yeah, but its close and you can get a lot of runs in. better for you domestic guys anyways. we dont get to use our top end

 

uhm, well, my top end isnt bad either...lol... how far away is it? ive never been

 

hertford NC. about 30 -45 minutes from my house near Mt trashmore

 

Whoever said torque was a better meter of a cars potential than horsepower needs a lesson in physics. You could have a motor with 1,000 ft-lb of torque that could barely even move a car, if that torque was generated only at extremely low rpm (like 50-100 rpm). On the other hand, a car with 1,000 hp is gonna fly, no matter what rpm it generates that power at, you can find a gearset to make use of it. Using a single number is woefully inadequate, but if you have to use only one number, us horsepower. Graphs are much better than numbers though.

Personally, I like high rpm's as an answer to producing horsepower more than displacement, because it allows for smaller engines, which can be positioned for a low center of gravity and low moment of inertia. None of that has much to do with running a 1/4 mile though.

 

Hey now some of us domestics have top end.

 

well lets race there fairy boy. ill have that thingy called lsd on friday too.
