The turning ability of an object or power source. Also, see Dodge Viper.
Also how horsepower is determined.
To go that fast, you've got to have a lot of torque.

a force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.

Torque is what causes an angular acceleration. Hence, torque can be defined as the rotational equivalent of linear force.
how does a steering wheel turn? due to torque.

Physics related. Reference to moment of a couple. The product of distance between a couple and the magnitude of one part of the couple!!!

Geek it up yo haha
Attempt to balance the ship by calculating the minimum torque for its meta centre to remain permanently above its centre of gravity.

something ricers dont have. helps acceleration. often found in V8s and trucks ranging from a Ford F150 (with V8) to a Peterbilt(WAY over 2200FT LBs here, dun mess with a semi, it can literally rip yo car in half) and some SUVs. known to cause wheelstands, burnouts, powerslides(NOT drifting, totally differant, drifting is E-brake derives, powersliding is just sheer torque), donuts and good ET times.
shit dude, that thing aint got no torque, im afraid i cant pink slip it so i dun humilitate u too badly...with a semi

When a guy (usually black) asks a girl (usually black, too) to dance up on him. This usually is against a wall and at a packed dance party. It is a very sexual type of dance involving lots of grinding and pressing against each others genitalia. Whether or not they meet again doesn't matter. Usually at middle school and high school dances.
Guy: Ey man look at that fine one, Ima ask her for a torque!
--
Guy: Want to torque?
Girl: Uh huh, sho, but give me your number first.

Torque = (Horsepower * 5252) / RPM
It is better to make torque at high rpm than at low rpm, because you can take advantage of *gearing*.
