When do we start talking about weight, gearing, powerband, etc.? Torque doesn’t win races. Let me say this again: **Torque doesn’t win races**. The first person to the finish line does. I am sure there has been plenty of domestics that have lost to another car with substantially less torque. I make quite a bit more torque than some of the Hondas on here. How the hell am I not the fastest? :wtf ---

its just an aspect of it, torque isnt everything and i know that, dont make it seem like thats the only thing im saying. import and domestic are all different, even different imports are different. ---

:rofl @ this page allow me to throw a little more gas on the fire put a well sorted single turbo setup on a 2jz=1000whp at best put a well sorted twin turbo setup on a viper v10 and, well…you know. (1500whp+) you can always add a turbo to an already huge motor and make even more power than on a smaller motor…OBVIOUSLY but it’s the simple fact that these domestic motors need twice the displacement to make similar numbers, due to inferior design…lolamirite? ---
