Maybe you could let Drakkie do it. He could recharge the AC for maximum off-the-line grip.

Winner is Torque.. Just happens to have a L67 under it's bonnet.

Electric motors produce 100% of their torque regardless of RPM, i.e., linear power delivery.
Given correct discharge controls, an electric motor of horsepower equal to an internal combustion engine will produce more useful torque under any load condition.
Win. Provided the battery packs last.
Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...
lol, the conversions are basically the inverse of each other. 1HP=~.75kW and 1Nm=~0.75lbs/ft.Originally Posted by f6hellcat13
The equivalent in metric is to have the torque number close to double that of the power. 300kw/600nm for instance is 402hp and 450lbs/ft.I have always been acustomed to torque in lbft and power in hp being about the same in engines of moderateish tune. There is something very inherently pleasing about a Corvette's engine making ~400hp and ~400lbft, I don't kno what it is. and any car that has 400 kw and 400 nm actually has, in my head, an utterly unbalanced 535hp and 300lbft.

I am the Stig
power: torque X rpm, now can you tell me how is responsible for acceleration and velocities?!
score
electric engines have tons of torque: is any kind of electric car really fun to drive? no
beside fuel economy (and different prices), who is going to buy a Tesla and not an Exige/Elise? no one.
torque doesn't win. lightweight owns everything.
if torque wins, buy this, the yellow one of course

my beautiful VQ35DE puts out equal torque and horsepower in SI
260 fl/lbs and 260 horsepower
and when she gets to peak torque she sings a melodious tune. and when she gest to peak horsepower she screams to get out of her way!
low end torque is the best by far!
BMW I6 turbo's have loads of it! (i want one)
