I'm looking at cars and I'm comparing these three cars, which one would be the quickest car if all the factors were the same?
Same weight, same driver, same time/location, which would you pick and why? I am just trying to understand how Hp and Tq affect each other.
Car #1 - 150hp @ 6500; 133lbs of Tq @ 5500rpms.
Car #2 - 140hp @ 6400; 132lbs of Tq @ 4800rpms.
Car #3 - 160hp, 111 TQ.
All of these numbers are factory rated at the crank. So just by this, what can be determined?
Even though car 3 has a lot more HP, it has no tq. Obviously car 1 has more Hp/tq but at higher RPMs, so what's this mean?
Thanks guys
Matt
