A good motor has one or the other a great motor has both. Torque and the ablity to rev out. |

Fact is, they wind that shit way the fuck up, and apply a slipper clutch. ONCE. Throttle response is almost irrelevant. Clutch response is, in fact, everything.

but they are very different. Torque is a real force, like a push or a pull. HP is just a measurement.

I'm just waiting for Jay Leno to set the land speed record with his Stanley Steamer! That Stanley Steamer is a torque monster!

He laid it all out for me one day, but it was a tad beyond my ken (I grasped the concepts as he explained them, though I did not retain it all)...but what the essence of his math stated was consistent with what racers know; RPMs are everything. This goes against the "torque is everything" logic. Engines are very application specific. I don't think you can use general rules to define what is most important, as that simply varies by application.

just like torque is a force over a certain distance. |
