Yeah I agree, one of my other cars is a fox body GT convertible and of the 1986 variety, and a guy who thinks hes' smart was telling me how his Huyndai Sonata has more HP than my Fox vert. I told him yeah, but I have torque which means Ill take you off the line, and for most if not all of a quarter mile. He didn't get it. On paper he has more HP than my 225 HP stock 80's Mustang, but I have torque and an almost perfect power to weight ratio. He was trying to bench race with HP numbers, but in the real world, I had him beat.
I don't know if this explains it, but torque is what makes my Fox Vert **** and git, HP is what makes the Hyundai catch up on the interstate, but it will need more than a quarter mile to do it.
