As it is I have lost all respect for you as a person, a moderator and the site for allowing you to post such a horrible comment.

Friz, back in the day I worked at a speed shop and the way I used to hear it.....Frizlefrak said:So back to the HP/torque thing. Us hotrodders used to have a saying.....torque gets the party started, while HP keeps it going. Not technically correct, but a fun metaphor anyway. As mentioned above, diesels simply move the torque curve (the RPM range where an engine makes optimal HP) lower in the RPM spectrum....which is usually better suited to towing heavy loads without having to wind the engine up so high. That comes at a price, of course...as the engine will move out of the preferred power band quickly, and need to shift to another gear, or it will stop making any more power.
Each has their place.

torque is the E.T., horsepower is the speed... and there's no replacement for displacement....
