[QUOTE="B_Master_Flash, post: 402183, member: 552262"] Oh boy, I get to explain how HP works again. Thats an interesting but useless fact about HP usualy peaking at 4500 - 6000, b/c the whole reason for having a 9000RPM redline is that its HP DOESN'T drop @ low RPM, I mean you understand that much right? HP = torque * RPM / 5252. If you read that until you actually understand it, you would know that making an engine hold its torque through higher RPM results in more HP. Yes torque is what gets you going, torque is the actual measurement of how much force being put on the wheels to make you go, but there is a crazy phenomena that when the engine is wound up higher, even though there is less torque at high RPM, it still accelerates faster. That is the whole point of a HP measurement, it gives you an idea of how fast your torque is going to make you go. If you don't believe me, try racing your car and shifting @ 4000 RPM (assuming you have about a 6000RPM redline) every time. You will still have the same ammount of torque, but for some crazy reason your car wont go as fast. Now imagaine if you didn't have to shift until 9000RPM w/o any drop-off in torque. And for god sakes stop trying to insult other peoples knowledge when you don't know what you are talking about. [/QUOTE]
