horsepower and torque numbers are getting silly
I wish they would put their efforts into lowering the rpm of peak horsepower, particularly with gas engines.
peak hp for my truck is at 5500 rpm, who drives at 5000 rpm plus?
they should concentrate on getting higher hp at lower rpms, sure lower hp overall, but higher numbers at realistic engine speeds, like 2500 to 3000 rpm
nature of the beast.. gas engines make hp at high rpm. only way to reduce rpm and keep power is with a turbo or two like the ecoboost.. which is anything but eco.
