Horsepower is a marketing term.
Torque is what matters, and the when and how much, for how long......it's all torque. But, these super high HP motors are scary fun to drive.... When all the power is between 5-7k rpms, you need to be WIDE awake to drive it effectively, and it can be a total hoot to do it. For me, now, lower down in the rpm range power is more fun. |
