Certainly. But most of us aren't running High Speed Trials at Bonneville. We are drag racing, or road course racing or just driving aggressively in traffic.

We depend on Torque.

Frankly, torque is the spunk of the Crossfire which makes it such fun to drive.

So again I say, why aren't we talking more about torque values than HP?
