Does anyone care about my analogies and ramblings about what hp and torque “are” and why they matter? I’m writing something based on research I did to answer some of my own questions and I kinda feel like its lame. Just wondering if its worth spending the time to polish/re-write.

Have a picture of a place I want to be again in the meantime.

If you write it, they will complain. But I would read it (though I think I already have a pretty solid grasp of the difference between the two).

Yeah, I think a lot of people do. For me I couldn’t quite get my head around what torque is. In the sense that I knew how it felt, and I knew it was a force that was easy to define scientifically, but not what is was and how it relates to a vehicles “go”. I’m the type that needs to hold something in my hand and look it over before it makes a lot of sense.

If you want my honest answer, my simple mind would really like to know, but at anything longer/more complicated than a paragraph I’d probably not bother.

Do it, and let the English see you do it.

Yeah, thats kinda where Im stuck. Its too wordy and not captivating enough.

Put it this way. I’ve bookmarked your ‘Diff ’ article for later reading. I’ll do the same if you write this one up.

I like to learn more.

Sorry if I’m coming off as a bit rude but I figured you want honest feedback.

not rude, great feedback. Its exactly where I’m sitting with it right now. The diff thing I wrote made me happy, but I think it was too long and dry for anyone to care about.

Personally, this is my simplistic understanding of the two so, yeah, I could use a refresher course.

Glad to have helped then

Hopefully I can distill it down a little better than the diff article. I LOVED writing it but I think its just too much...stuff.

I enjoy your technical posts, but I have an engineering background so I’m not bothered by wordiness.

I do think the Torque/HP difference is worth talking about though. I mean, what’s the difference between a high torque or a high HP car in how they /feel/ to drive.

I did read it and I already knew all that. But do a Readers Digest version and it may help some folks.

Don’t explain torque. Explain torque ratios.

Torques relationship to hp?

It’s from the Nationwide commercial. I’ts nonsense. NO ONE knows what it means.

I read and enjoyed your entire Differential article, so bring it on. But I don’t mind long-form technical articles, and I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Yeah, I looked it up and im all...whaaaa?

I think your stuff is really awesome and interesting to people who already have a genuine curiosity for those subjects.

But for people just scrolling through and clicking stuff, it might not be as valuable.

I too have book marked the diff article. You already schooled me on a part of that (in a great way), so i want to sit down and give it the justice it deserves when i have the time/headspace.

Not everything on here needs to be clockbait/instant gratification.

Cheers.
