No Torque

[VWGTIvr6_fever]

im not new here i been reading this forum for sum time now but i never became a meber till now and my first question is why do the cars have no torque......or at least its say that they have none

???? what do you mean.... all cars have torque... the more torque the better... at least for power slides and donuts and acc if guided well by driver or computer

when u go to the specs it show that they have like 30 ft/lbs when they really should have 200+

I know what you are talking about. I think it is because it is being meseured a different way. Maybe in KW? I honestly don't know why the figures are sooo small, but I do remember reading something in a thread that explained this phenomenon a few days ago.

oh ok that is what you mean... i would think the units are incorrect... isnt the unit for torqe or moment force times distance... so like newton meter or pound foot...a foot per pound doesnt work... and doesnt make since... that is inverse distributed stress over length...

most likely they just messed up the math... and if they do say foot pound in the game and not foot per pound... they probably never converted from si units to english for american game version... like left it in meters and newtons or kilos... or something... ehhh its no biggie... just look at torque per weight and you will bet a good idea of car charcteristics
