Horsepower vs. Torque (and Gearing)

Thought I'd share this article from a guy I'm sure a few of you know by now if you're involved in any kind of auto racing in Ontario: Sasha Anis.
Just an interesting read
http://www.prnmag.com/index.php/blogs-opinion/sasha-anis/1250-horsepower-torque-and-gears

I thought about getting into a v8-swap discussion because it's been on my mind again, but my fingers are numb from wrenching in my cold garage lol.
So just enjoy the reading material.

This is a great article. I've always been a fan of a higher overall power band rather than peak numbers alone.

The link isn't working, but the text will work if you paste it into the browser address bar.

Also, Sasha's OnPoint site is pretty cool. Great pics!

Nice article. I've spent the last two summers helping the pit crew for that Genesis racing team, I'm hoping the owner runs them this season too
