Low end, high end, it's how it's set up, is not? it
I've been trying to avoid this argument, but felt it's time to chime in.
1.) HP is always a function of torque at a given RPM. HP=RPM/5250 X torque.
2.) Low end torque is an advantagage with relatively high gear ratios and heavy weight. Note: both Supras and Mustangs are heavy, 3000 lbs. +.
3.) HP/TQ curves are easily compensated for with correct gear ratios (rear axle and tranny).
4.)The car with the better Hp/weight ratio, and with good gearing and good driviing, and good traction will ALWAYS PREVAIL.
