It was quite funny though.
Try to read more and stay in automotive fields, it seems you know more on those...



PS I don't mean to offend you but misinformation is flooding the Internet so please don't add to this phenomenon.

Thanks
horsepower is simply a function of torque and RPM, so it is entirely possible for an engine to make max torque and HP at the same RPM, it just depends on the shape of the torque curve. the engine would need to be fairly peaky for this to occur, but it's possible.

you're the one that made an absolute statement that isn't true...
