"Yeah. 0-60 times get too much credit. Same with horsepower. I wonder how many people don't know that the HP rating on any car is the maximum harsepower. Torque doesn't get enough attention from the general public.
We now return to our regularly scheduled program. Smiler"

I grew up on big block cars from GM, mostly Olds. Torque is far more fun to drive than HP, in my book.

I went for torque on my Mach 1. Just a street fun old car.

Looks like a big block torque curve. Nice. That'll stretch your cheeks a bit.
I wish I had chassis dyno-ed the 347 I had in the '66 fastback. Always wondered how long the torque climb was on that engine and what the difference between 32 total timing and 40 total would have been. Ah well.

Welll......the '89 Bronco came with numerous problems and was sold after lots of rust/steel work, paint work (local shop botched the hood paint terribly. So I stripped to bare metal and did it myself to 99% perfection) and a tune up, oil leaks etc. Actually made a little bit on it not including a dime my time.
Bought a 2000 Boxster S through a Bring A Trailer auction. Gezzis crackers! Worst car ever and most dishonest dealer ever. I'll end up losing $5,000 minimum. It was my fault for not sending Lemon Squad to look at it first. That's gonna sting a bit. Oh well. So, how was your day, month or year with cool cars? CB
