BHP sells cars, torque wins races you mean
What's the torque of your big bus Yam ?
so i take it that involves a big turbo upgrade yam ?
torque is where its at! for me, its all about the illusion of being fast!. after a certain speed, say 120mph, its not fun because it starts to get dangerous. so the fun part is getting there!. no replacement for displacement because big displacement usually means big torque, and big torque feels goooooood! add diesel to big displacement and you get mega torque that defys the laws of physics.... such as a 3 ton hillbilly pickup truck smashing the quarter mile faster than a yamaha r1 crotch rocket with much more bhp/ton. i love torque, its all about the illusion and that big acceleration surge u get when u floor it. im just not into stiring gears and screaming. lazy torque.com.
horses for courses, everybody has different preferences.
Aye, but the R1 doesn't have to sit building boost - much faster in the real world.
A lightly breathed on sports tourer like a hyabusa or a ZZR1400 - and not much would see where they went.
Sooooo, say your happy enough with the power you have. The only way to increase your torque would be via the gearing & wheels used??
I've lost everything after lunch to this thread!!
