Engine builder here. Horsepower is measure of how fast an engine can work. So, its a measure of how fast it can move things. Some dynos only measure horsepower. It is figured by how fast they can get the heavy rollers to accelerate.
Holy shit! I've been driving for 30+ years and could never figure that out!
Chuckle... are we still arguing Torque/HP? Yes, Torque is needed, as it is *part* of the equation. Is it king? No.
I have a car I take to the track (the type with twisty curves, and not just a straight line) and it only produces 145 Foot Pounds of Torque.
None of the big V8 cars stay with me 0-60. Now, the car body is designed to produce downforce, so its CDA (drag) is as bad as a minivan. Once I am over 60 MPH, then overcoming the drag consumes a lot of force/energy... and the V8 cars gain ground. Once we get back into the twisties, they get passed.
You cannot discuss the importance of Torque/HP, unless you includes Mass and Drag. A really light car, needs less Torque/HP to accellerate quickly at low speeds (example Lotus), a car with low drag, requires less Torque/HP to achieve a high rate of speed (example 280z, they had very good top-end speed for their given HP/Torque).
You must consider the whole package, to have a meaningful discussion.

Does all this drivel really have to be in the MPV thread? Without any pictures or video? Why don’t you all just start a thread about it, on a car forum, where it belongs? Sheesh! Three pages of Dick swinging and braggadocios, along with a little bit of actual good information, interspersed with the occasional attempt by someone with a a clear head trying to get the thread back on track.

It’s not for sale he’s 78 had it 25 years and will work on it one day. Pretty sure that just body with tires propped up under it, rear looks like there’s no studs, sell the fenders we don’t need those were we are going
Drift(draft) horses may be 1.5hp each. Long stroke legs and high compression hearts larger air intake.How about 2 horse power?

Please define how rotational force happens without rotation.
Such a statement is beyond ludicrous and requires a fully inept mind.
Wait....have you been watching Star Wars again ?

The average horse is around 15 horse power. Go figgure.How about 2 horse power?
But what about unicorns like the one above? Is that horsepower, or do they have a different scale?
