It doesn't produce nearly as much power or especially crucial torque for getting off the line as the BMW. Audis typically have a torque split of 40/60.

Like I said, AWD.

The ICE produces power and the driveline merely apportions it to the wheels.

The amount of torque that a tire can impart to a road surface is limited to the tire contact patch size, coefficient of tire friction and the force on the tire normal to the road surface.

IOW, RWD is limited to two tires driving at there torque limit with any excess going up in smoke. Drag racers end up using humongous rear slicks and facilitate weight transfer (more normal force on the rear tires) by using very soft shocks at the front. This step will seriously detriment any handling.


So what can one do to get a combination of great handling and great stop light get up and go?

Divide the torque amongst four wheels via AWD.

exactly... AWD. So are you agreeing wtih REV or disagreeing wtih him...?

Agreeing.

I love it when RR posts... half the fuckheads on here dont know what he says.... pay close attention, he throws some zingers in there from time to time:2thumbsup:


RR is a nice change of pace from the usual shit that gets posted... the one guy on here that can truly back up what he is talking about

[REVolution]

Agreed.

[The Voice of Doom]

RR is proof that Ford has potential. Smart, articulate, level-headed. Good stuff!

Whenever RR posts,I just agree with what he says. Mainly because I have no idea what he just said.

[MOPAR74]

Exactly.... my point exactly

[docCarter]

I know exactly what he says

I like ice.

And you are about to embark on a somewhat massive overhaul on your truck. I'm wondering if that's a good idea now.

Torque also comes in quick around 1,400-5,300 rpm according to this link

In the link, it states that the engine uses twin turbos in combination with direct injection. This combination, when tuned correctly, can give one an engine with diesel-like torque and gasoline power. Diesels, although a great form of producing power, require heavy reciprocating components to enable compression ignition. Heavy components are limited to how high they can rev.

I am not really in to European marques, but if I was, I would go with BMW. Not that Audi is bad.

Hey RR, for some reason I thought your comment about ice was brown prides comment.

That's why i had that snarky second comment.

I know how to do mechanical work lol
Just don't understand what RR says. If it was dumbed down,I'm sure I could haha
