Message	I would much rather have tons of torque. Torque gets you down the road and horsepower is for braging to friends. You can't have one without the other but it seems like most people are only wanting to talk about HP numbers.

You are - Inzane 10:07:52 08/23/07 LOL, I know, but its odd that the mph go up because - Octavian 10:19:15 08/23/07 Good point.
