Horsepower vs torque?

horsepower vs torque?

Horsepower sells cars. Torque wins races.

Torque is one way to make power
RPM is another

horespower is a product of tourqe thats like asking whats better peanuts or nutbutter

They are the same thing, or really different measurements of the same thing.
IIrc, torque is a measurement of the ability to do work, and horsepower is the ability to do work overtime.
I'm saying all this off the top of my head after about 10 seconds of thought so I may not be remembering correctly.

Torque is how much work you can do, power is how much work you can do and how quickly

I see, so I was pretty close then

Torque is how hard you an pedal a bike. HP is how fast you can keep pedalling it whilst still adding power it without the freewheel kicking in.

torque allday senpai
even tho my car is like 140 hp it has 315 NM of torks which lets it do mad skidz if you do a kickdown its like you dump the clutch and the rear tires let loose 80% of the time

so basically torque then?
