My aunt owns a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer V8 with 4500 lbs of curb weight and it comes with a measly 239 hp@5500 rpms but it comes with 282 lb ft@3000 rpms and I could feel the torque push me in my seat under 3k rpms. So you're telling me that under 3k rpms I was feeling a lot of horsepower? Under 3k rpms my aunt's truck was probably making 175 hp with 275 lb ft of torque. There is no way 175 hp offers a lot of motivation in a 4500 truck with 500 lbs of people in it.

This.
