Can Someone Explain Torque?

Something people often overlook is entire power band of a given motor. Our 3.3 twin turbo makes both great torque and hp at low revs.

Many of today’s V8s need to be rev’d beyond 4000 rpm before they are making peak torque .

So lots of v8 cars are at a bit of a disadvantage off the line . Either they have to drop clutch at higher rpm and risk losing traction or start at lower rpm where stinger has more usable power. Add to this traction of awd and stinger is almost always going to get off line quicker.

Also with awd, low rpm power and automatic transmission we can repeat fast launch over and over consistently. Cars with peaky HP at higher RPMs are tougher to launch .

Now add to this that most stoplight battles are 1st to 2nd gear and most people are not going to pull a burnout to go fast and Stinger is almost always going to beat most cars off the line through second.

Motor Trend greatest drag race should include Stinger GT AWD. Think it would kill lots of cars .

Something about how you wrote that got me all itching to become a stop light assassin.

Yeah makes me want trade for AWD . Lol!

I am actually surprised how good my RWD is off the line. Even using launch control there are no crazy theatrics like with a Charger Hemi or something like that. I think the weight savings over AWD are not worth the added traction. Then again I live in Atlanta where it rarely snows.
