torque

Simply put from Horsepower/Torque Race Perspective, Torque is the low end power of the car.

Build a motor for low end torque and it will usually take care of horsepower.

Big Blocks Often tend to be good friends with torque.
Torque is often created from an excessive stroke on big blocks, thus there non high reving attributes.

My 1968 Oldsmobile 98 Weighs 4580 and is slow as hell (off the line) but has around 500ft/pds of torque and will roast tires like no tomorrow. (thats with a 2.83 diff)

Pure Torque

When you have to take a leak with morning wood, you push down so hard on your unit, your heels lift of the floor.

That piss I took was Pure Torque!!!

coffee torque

The power and speed generated by one or more coffee stirrers.

Unable to generate any coffee torque with just a single plastic stirrer, I added three more stirrers to the mix.

torque

verb: aggravate, agitate, bother, irritate, torment, etc.

My wife knew I had a fierce hangover, but she just had to torque my ass about cutting the grass anyway.

I love to torque my little brother about being gay.

Oh man, stop torquing me! I'll pay you when I pay you!

Arnold Torque

1. A term used by Mechanics... This is done when a person refuses to use a Torque Wrench, because they think they can gauge how much pressure is needed by feel. 2. When a mechanic thinks all nuts or bolts should be tightened down as hard as they can twist. 3. A person who thinks you should be as strong as Arnold Schwarzenegger to tighten anything.

1. Joebob was installing headers on my engine. He said he does not need a Torque Wrench because he uses Arnold Torque and can feel the pop in his elbow.

2. Joebob used the power of Arnold Torque on my head bolts until they were smoking. He guarantees that the bolts will never come out... EVER AGAIN!!!

3. Joebob tightened the lid on my soda with Arnold Torque and now I can not open it.

Torque

Torque is pulling power, and it’s best demonstrated as the grunt that gets you moving, while horsepower is what keeps you going. Torque is the twisting force created in an engine by rotating parts; horsepower is the measurement of how fast torque is being used.

That VTECH Honda engine doesn't have much Torque!
