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.

What the hell are you talking about? WTQ is short for Wheel Torque.
