I knew that would get your attention.

Do you want to explain to the class how to figure out how much Horsepower an engine makes? Because it seems that you believe and preach that engine torque is not that important. Explain in full detail how making making horsepower is more important than making torque even though you cannot have one measurement without the other.

Plus everyone talks torque from a dyno perspective (at the crank) but should be looking at it from the tire perspective, if we measure torque and hp at the tire especially with same size tire and if were in similar weighted cars doing similar quarter mile times we'll be putting down similar torque and hp down to the tire at similar speeds no matter how vastly different the torque and rpm numbers are on the dyno to make similar hp.

Yes you could have different power and weight and tire sizes and have same performance but it still will all be relative to each other.
