It is the only useful thing an engine makes, everything else is a by-product. * horsepower is not a force. It is not something you can directly measure from an engine or car. It is simply a measure of an engine's ability to do work with the amount of torque it generates. In real world terms, that rate of work is accelleration. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! That is what I was trying to say with my rant. That "horsepower" is really a myth. Well ok, not a myth but it isn't what people are really talking about when discussing engines. By the way, what are we doing every time we try to get our cars moving but "towing" them up to speed? Just a thought. Posted on: 2002/11/18 16:30
