WTF? |
In 1st gear, the gutless AP1 S2000 (curb weight ~2800 lbs) makes ~1900-2200 lbf*ft wtq.
In 1st gear, my lowly stock NB (curb weight ~2300 lbs) makes ~1200-1400 lbf*ft wtq. Even in 5th, it makes more than 300 lbf*ft wtq.

Why write wtq if you don't mean wheel torque? It's not safe to assume that everyone understands that a dyno doesn't show wheel torque.

And traction, temperature, altitude, road gradient, etc. But this isn't about being technical or precise so much as about not misusing terms.

I have fond memories of my CRX Si, and cars like the MCS can be amusing. But I see no reason to suffer with FWD.
