    And to translate that so you know both torque and horsepower at both rpm ratings (according to the equation you gave us yesterday):

    6250 rpm:
    215 hp
    181 ft-lb of torque

    2750 rpm:
    96.9 hp
    185 ft-lb of torque

    Here are the stats for my car, a 2001 Honda Civic LX sedan:

    5300 rpm:
    127 hp
    126 ft-lb of torque

    4800 rpm:
    104 hp
    114 ft-lb of torque

    All calculations have been rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures (which in all cases happened to be 3).

    well I most definitely don't want to be left out of this, I worked hard to get my car where it is :)

    312 hp @ 6120 rpm
    295 lb-ft @ 2690 rpm

    BTW Ken, what do you drive? I have a modded 2002 VW PAssat W8
  • Ken · 3 years ago
    A stock 03 Mach 1

    Mine's modded too...with a Gentoo license plate. :)

    I should clarify. Those are the stock numbers for my car. I do have an after market exhaust, and a few other things that was done when I bought the car. I have not had it dynoed, but I assume it makes a little more now.

    Man, looks like I'm the low man on the totem pole, but I got an ace up my sleave -- 35-40 miles to the gallon. I can go 500 miles on my 13 gallon tank.

    HA! TAKE THAT TO THE PUMPS!

    LOL good point. Tim wins the distance race.

    220hp/225tq - 2004 SRT-4 rice rocket. Fun, but getting tired of it.
