Horsepower & Torque - Good article for noobs (like me) :

[MitsuLove]

Being the noob that i am to modding cars, and having limited knowledge of certain areas, i came across this article whilst researching which i found helpful in explaining the actual difference to driveability of a car between hp & tq.

I also got a good giggle out of the example he uses in the "comparing two cars" section (a V8 vs a turbo 4), so thought i'd share.

Might even help some fellow noobs who are too embarrassed to admit they didn't fully understand this stuff either...
