What is your cars Torque

[obi_waynne]

Do you actually know what your cars torque is? Do you have to look it up?

Why do people focus more on BHP than Torque when torque is a more accurate reflection of the cars pulling power!

Unless you were born or blessed with such information then I guess I am one of the unfortunate ones who had to look it up and again to find out what it became when last measured....................however unless I look it up again I don't recall what it was!

I can't keep banging on about MPG can I and lets face it acceleration and refinement are no longer in the conversational ball park!

I to am enjoying the mpg I'm getting atm average 45 normal driving I haven't done a long run yet
I do know my torque figure only cause I recently bought the car and was doing Research on it 300Nm it sounds better in Nm

224lbft (300 Nm) at 3000rpm. It's adequate but I'd prefer a diesel like 400lbft at 2000rpm

 

[jimperry]

volvo 855 r 420 nm @ 3300 rpm 304 bhp @ 5500 figures supplied by rica.
dyno says 400 nm@3400 184 bhp @5400 fairly close

 

[HugoBoss]

294 Nm had to look it up.

 

[st24]

220 nm looked it up.:bigsmile:

 

[old-git]

Engine spec'd to 420ft/lb at 5200rpm.

Nice!! I am greedy and want that from idle too

Only problem would be that I would dig holes in the tarmac

Not an issue here because the roads are so badly maintained

 

[old-git]

Fortunately, drag strips have very few potholes

 

[RichiesTrucking]

standard figures for a manual are 276 horses, 271 torque

 

[HDi fun]

My remapped 406 2.2 HDi managed 320lbft

 

[MADRod]

666ft-lb on the old Spec. will be going to Dyno again soon.
