    Torque & Horsepower are the same?

    that's what my friend is arguing. ..

    i thought torque does the actual work of moving an object while
    horsepower determines how fast that work gets done.

    also, can an engine make torque at zero RPMs?

    You are right... your friend is wrong.
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

        That explains torque.

        Definition of Horsepower. You do the math... or rather, physics

          They're relate to eachother, but your friend is wrong. They're not the same.

          Here's a good read if you're interested.

                I hope he hasn't spent his whole tuning budget on an intake and exhaust trying to get MaD HorSePowErZ.

                  That's why the subaru impreza did well in the rally as it's got good tourque on a flat four engine and only 300+ BHP.

                  Get the gear wrong and the tourque will pull you out, just like a Ducati bike compaired to an R1.
