technically they use torque, not power.

And scoobies corner better, and have a stereo, and room for kids in the back, and beer in the boot.

They don't have a 6 second 1/4 mile time. That would be silly

Hum, "they use torque not power".


Well the torque would break the traction, ie turning force over friction, but I think power may have something to do with the energy dissapated during the burning of the rubber

If you had 1,000,000 Nm of torque but less than 1 bhp, I think the burnouts would be a bit naff
