No. What's important is how quickly it revs and the curve of power.
If the engine can make 140Kw and get there quicly rev wise and maintains a high level of Kw throughout the rev range. A car that makes 120Kw at 2000rpm and maxes at 140kw will be more useable then something that has 80kw at 2000rpm and makes 185kw at 6000rpm.

I've built bloody race engines.
A motor that

Acceleration under load is governed by available torque, check the torque curve of a modern turbo, f**k all lag and flat as a tack until you start getting to where the engines making max HP.

That's drive-ability, Now go back to what I actually posted, Because you are literally describing how torque works, not horsepower.

it's torque that matters for most driving. Not having to ring the neck out of it like you would with your naturally aspirated engine to get any decent amount of power means you spend far less time pushing the limits of reliability.

You're talking about reliability and trying to defend what you're saying by "oooh duh, I built race engines" and "revs is where it's at".

Race engines are not reliable, because racing tends to be be about flogging the f**k outta what you're driving, strangely enough that pushes the limits of reliability.

I'm thinking there must be some Mother's Day skeptics out there. I mean how do you *know* that lady is your mother ?

Your mother is whoever brought you up and looked after you

Maybe you then realise you are a f**kin lizard yourself

So she was a lizard all along

I'm not equipped for that.

I thought @Bandwagon was a dirty liberal hippy that was too smart for his own good (and smarter than the rest of us) when it comes to politics. Now he nails us with his supreme understanding of cars and I don't know what to think.

Totally making me rethink everything I thought I knew about Lismore.

Well, the cars do. Their customer service employees would have been subjected to the same training courses.

Why does it matter their cars come off the same line?

Yeah, I wouldn't be doing that.

It's pretty much what you'd get if you moved Penrith to paradise.

I never built a race engine. It was a false statement that I fabricated in attempt to win an arguement. But then he bought out the old torque curves debate.

I built f**king heaps of race cars as a kid, entirely from the ground up too, hand fabricated every part

Avengers new car doesn't look like the one in the car showroom but it sure seems eco friendly.

Do you go to The Channon markets?

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

There’s no value in either of them. The secret is to get the best discounted deal as they both depreciate more than a Japanese/Korean car.

We still pay way too much for Euro cars here despite us not protecting anything local anymore. It’s a farce.

Value for money is still relevant even if they are overpriced. You may say, instead, that Mercedes are less overpriced, but it is really the same thing - you get something better from Mercedes than you do Audi.

But I drive a Camry, so...

I've been, but I wouldn't say I go.

What's the torque like on one of those things?

Me you and strider should do a Toyota cruise

This thread needs less torque, more talk.....

Avenger should walk in with a print out of this and then negotiate a price. They'll know he means business. Tell them you more interested in the blue line then the red.
