Well yes, because imagine if your car was made of paper, if the wind was strong enough it would blow it along unless you countered it with another force blocking the rotational force exerted on the wheels.

Thank fuck I bought an office chair with zero torque.
Typing this post would be a nightmare.
In related news; Surprisingly, I now completely understand the torque/Mazda conundrum.
Cheers, Skweeks :]

What is a bit weird though is that I thought the Mazda RX8 I drove had fantastic acceleration.
But whatever. I guess it was all smoke and mirrors because of the screeching and preconceptions I had.

Well I don't really get it at all, but I don't want to press the point for fear this thread would become as dull as the bike thread

At least you have your phoatieshop talents to fall back on.

I don't think it's about how effective it is at accelerating, it's more about how agressively it does it. Like, you know when you put your foot down and you feel this moment of pull just before you accelerate? If you have high torque, you would feel that pull more. Torque is also referred to as moment of force (I think) so this pull is just the time where it is gaining momentum.Originally Posted by manker
Although frankly, I could be wrong. I am applying my physical understanding of torque on this but it could be that it means something slightly different in motoring.

I get them mixed up, too.
Easy way to remember is that Bo is black.
