Is that something that anyone is familiar with? i just didn't have a clue what the guy was talking about so i wanted to see if you guys know about this.
your friend had no idea what he was talking about and that is why you are confused. torque is the force necessary to rotate an object. what you are describing is lugging the engine. i am sure there is a technical or atleast a more correct word for it but i do not know what it is.
I always heard it as bogging it down.
