[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16227206, member: 68944"] Torque is hp at 5252rpm because hp is torque at 5252rpm. I’ll take 400hp and 300tq in pretty much any and all race comparisons over 400tq and 300hp. It is always easier to use lower torque output at higher velocity than high torque output at low velocity to create expeditious speed. It is very easy to leverage gearing and optimize tq to great acceleration given rpm to wind up its delivery speed. If you needed to launch a bolder onto the opposite castles wall so as to breach it, would you want to lob a 5lbs bolder at that wall at 1500mph or lobb a 1500lbs boulder at it at 5mph? Torque is the weight of the bolder here, hp is the deliver speed. If I’m going to have to pick between force and rpm, I’ll take rpm for sprinting and competitive racing and force for endurance working as in sustainable low rpm work. Diesel engines last very long because the components arent stressed at high rpm, meanwhile a duramax with 860tq has a hard time accelerating like a gsxr-1000. A gsxr-1000 won’t tow very much since it only has 86tq or whatever but you better bring a worked up duramsx to keep up with its acceleration thanks to the leveraging of that 86tq 86tq spinning at 10,000rpm will run circles around 10,000tq running at 86rpm Torque is force. Hp is the spinning speed at which the force is applied. The bigger and “heavier” the force or explosion going on in an engine, the more controlled force or torque it will have. You can move torque around with air and fuel delivery and combusting point and intensity. The spinning speed of the crankshaft is much more impactful on how much propulsion (or resistance to slowing of that crank and connected drive system) a system will create than the weight of the rotating crank and internals at much lower speed [/QUOTE]
