write about car torque for example one car has 170NM/4500RPM
other has 150NM/7000RPM which is better?

horsepower wouldn't be the same unless the car has a fucked up camshaft as horsepower is a measure of torque and rpm.

NM = Newton Metres

AKA
he's using the metric form of torque.
therefore most Americans and Canadians won't understand.
(Even though Canada "is" metric, we're influenced so strongly by our American brothers so much as to stay 1/2 imperial)

 

i knew what he was talking about with the newton meter thing.

 

To answer the question though, I'd say that it depends what the redline was on both engines. If one is redlining at 6000 but gets 150NM torque at 4500rpm, yet the other gets 170NM torque/7000rpm and redlines at 9000rpm, the latter is definately better.

 

It also depends on what you use the car for.

I don't think there was any confusion on that.

 

Lol.

They didn't seem to understand what he was asking; unless i misunderstood the context to which they said it in - possible

 

i understood fully what the guy was asking.. took a few minutes to figure it out but i knew.

It's obviously better to have more torque at lower rpms than less torque at higher rpms. Therefore, all else equal, everybody would pick the first car.

the question is worded retardedly;
