Funny, I thought the S2000 and RX8 had almost exactly the same amount of torque.

gearing is the great equalizer. Lower torque + good gearing = FEELS torquey.

For some reason, this reminds of an episode of South Park accused of Family Guy for being too random and immature.

So you are saying that it is ironic that I would suggest that this thread is full of win? Given that my posts are so full of luze?

Well, screw you, I'm going home.

my bicycle's torque is relative to how hard i pedal. It never changes at speed (the higher the gear the less i pedal for same torque as a lot of pedaling in a lower gear)

Fitness FTW
