I feel so stupid.. We just bought at RX-8 MT GT and I really want to know exactly what torque is. Can someone explain it to me in terms I will understand, as a pilot I thought I had an idea of what it was but I have a feeling I'm all wrong. Can you also compare what torque is to what horsepower is? People complain that the RX-8 has low torque, and I want to know exactly what they mean.

I hope this (http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question622.htm) can help you a little, or you can explore further there.
