There was a guy here asking about horsepower. Horsepower relates to top speed and straight line acceleration, not hill towing. Why do you think some Cat semis are rated at "only" 400HP?
LOL, how lost can a person be? :S What do you think towing in mountains involves?
Skip to 15:30 to 15:45 to see what they say about 420lbs torque towing. :B
Ya, I passed one of your 1400 lbs of torque engines today. He was clawing up a small hill at 22 to 25 MPH. :R I bet he had somewhere around 300 to 350 HP.
I think he wanted to wave but he was having a tough time steering and rowing through the gears like a mad man on meth just to keep the snails from overtaking him in the left lane. :B
If he would have had a Cat C15 with 625 HP on tap I bet I would have had a tough time passing him in my Acura. More than likely I wouldn't have needed to pass him because he would have been going the speed limit.
If you want to be stuck in the slow lane following the big rigs with your hazard lights on be my guest. I'll take high HP and be having an adult beverage in my campground while you're still pulling a mountain with your high torque rig. :p You want me to save you a space? You will be a while. :B
