How is it a valuable discussion?
Ten different people will tell us what they "think" and I'll just get gas.
Think of a polar bear that eats a fish ,and another polar bear eats a seal ,which bear is going to have need more tourque and which one is going to have more horsepower when he expels gas .Pics?

So are you saying piss + tears - torque = power? I need to draw a picture I think.
The one that eat a walrus. DuhThink of a polar bear that eats a fish ,and another polar bear eats a seal ,which bear is going to have need more tourque and which one is going to have more horsepower when he expels gas .
Close. Torque= HP x 5252/RPMTorque is irrelevant. This thread has taught me that torque is not needed.

Torque isn't irrelevant, in the case of an engine it isn't an independent variable. You don't run your car on a power dyno, then switch over to a torque dyno. The only things that matter are what power is produced and at what rpm. "Torque" is simply a linear mathematical formula based on the above variables and a fixed constant (5252). "Torque" is increased by either increasing the power, or producing the power at a lower RPM.
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car, oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.
All of this of course I have taught my wife in preparation for her driving test next Tuesday.

We have a linear equation with three variables and a constant. If you like to see power as a somewhat artificial product of torque and RPM, that's cool with me. I only have issues with some peoples concept that they are different, and that it is possible to have "more torque" without a change in the power at a given rpmNo, torque is a measurable force. 1lb of force applied on a 1' lever = 1ft-lb. Horsepower is a calculation, torque (measured in ft-lbs) x rpm/5252= horsepower.
You have torque and horsepower in the wrong positions of your equation. They are not interchangeable.
