when is the last time you saw a contour sit there and burn through tires and not go anywhere? it has traction... it needs torque if you want it to get off the line faster and if you want to get better ETs.
Um.. the old Big block theory is out of date.
Seen many 4 cylinders run 10's and 11's - Yes turbo's or nitrous are used & yes that does add torque (like you mentioned - but not in the amounts you are talking or down low) Still not Right Off The Line though... Why... Traction...
That's the whole point here... This car lacks traction so it's ET's suffer. That's why you get high trap speeds and high ET's.
I am sorry you can not understand this.
As for traction. I can easily burn the tires off in 1st or 2nd at will. Yes! At will, no dumping the clutch! A little in 3rd when shifting. I'm N/A... Not even forced induction...
You completely ignore my posts of 60' times and what they mean, yet continue to be Beligerant and Ignorant.
...and you wonder why you think people are "picking you out" It's so easy when you make yourself such a willing target.
Someone stuck "Torque Rules" in your head at one time and you use it as a crutch. I came from big block buicks & then turbo's. I love high torque ratings, but it's not the end all be all...
