tickford_6: We realise that yes at that same time they will have the same torque with the figures provided. However it is the nonsense that is included after that statement that is bewildering!
It is beyond me how stockstandard came up with that information, I dont even want to consider how he/she resulted in those comments!

My popcorn is finshed..dam!!! Guys forget the figures. Some bloke invented them for guys like us to debate power vs torque.The bloke who invented the 2 should be shot !!!!
There should really be only 1 way of measuring true back wheel power.This method should accurately log the power at each rpm or kmph but have it timed.Whats the point of 700nm of torque or 700 rwkws which comes on after the bmw has thrashed you? My bro with a 6 cylinder bmw has 136 rwkws and has beaten ba xr8's..badly. Why? Because his real power curve comes on quick. A real measure of power is the amount of energy to move a certain weight a certain distance.This is why power and dynos are nice but I have given up on them.My dyno is the gtech and for others the 1/4 mile. Just my take on this..now if you want mow mw down!! I am going for more popcorn.

I will never understand the difference between torque and power. Doesnt matter how many different ways you care to explain I just dont get it.
I guess thats why Isaac Newton is classed as a smart f**k. |

Sick dont get me involved in the argument mate.I think BMWS are ugly.But that thing does beat the ba xr8's 0-100 without any problem.It is a bmw 330 ci coupe as a matter of fact.The engine technology in that I have not even seen in my dreams!! Ford might do it in 10 years if we are lucky.

I guess thats why Isaac Newton is classed as a smart f**k. Torque = the amount of effort it takes to have a wank Power = the end result after all that stroking* *Stroking in this case = rpm Cop That

Just my take on this..now if you want mow mw down!! I am going for more popcorn. we have to tread carefully cos if these xr8 guys put a 3.45 diff gear set in there xr8 and its a manual they will eat most of us its cos they never put a lot of effort into the v8s back then they focused on the xr6 xr6 came out with 3.45 gears and a heavy duty clutch and the v8 came out with a bigger clutch (cos itsa a 8 but it was a standard clutch) like putting a standard in out 6 packs i think with same diff gear and same t5 box they will munch us hard fact but its true i also think us xr6s that beat all these vn ss vs ss are lucky cos be beat the s**t C*** who cant drive and most of these ss have wogged out stereos with a 100 kg box for subs and usually 17s on them which does slow you down
