Touqe or Bhp

mutley · 11-26-2009, 06:31 AM

i love touqe better for getting out of corners but most off all is putting on the brakes hard putting engine under load and hold on its like a catapult love it , had a v12 jag auto that was fun in that about 300lb of torqe.

Tq all the way. I don't need any more than 100hp. But, ill take as much tq as you can give me.

Like most people, I want it all. My new bike should satisfy both requirements. Enough torque to pull hard and enough HP to keep going when the torque curve starts dropping off.

You missed the "r" in torque. I read it as touque, what us Canadians call a winter cap. Puts a whole new spin on the thread...lol

you can have fun with torque in your back yard, you need a track to really enjoy horsepower (legally).

HP = Torque x RPM ÷ 5252

They are just different ways of expressing the same thing.

No they're not. Hp is a function of tq.
Hp is a way of expressing how much work the tq can do.

Hp is math, tq is the hand of god.
