Re: Why all the hype about horse power and torque?

It does not matter whether we have 200 ft lbs of torque at 1000 RPM or 100 ft lbs of torque at 200 RPM
I think you typo'd that, you probably meant that 200ftlb@1000rpm == 100ftlb@2000rpm.

I've always wondered why, with CVTs, they don't let you flash to and hold at peak hp while the gear ratio changes as the vehicle speeds up....
