Is Torque King?

No way the 600hp 340 wins over a 600hp 540 because while at one point they both make the same power, the 540 makes the power over a longer period of time. Granted the 540 may make so much power early in the rpms that it can't harness it to the ground but just building a motor for peak horsepower with no regard to overall rpm horsepower is not going to give you the quickest 1/4 mile times.

Pablum. Plenty of people are running 8's with tiny, high-revving engines that make (maybe) 250lb/ft. But they make big HORSEPOWER, because they wind to 10,000+RPM.

Also note: this car has a tiny 4-banger in it!

It runs 8's in race trim, low 9's in street trim. And yes, it IS a STREET car!
