it's a race car with 200 ft/lbs of torque.How much torque do you think an F1 engine makes?
For simplicity's sake, lets assume that in an F1 engine under 2010 rules makes about 750bhp at its rules-limited redline of 18,000 rpm, and that peak torque happens at peak power. (in reality, i beleive that peak torque would be a bit lower in the rpm band)
HP = Torque * RPM / 5252
Torque = HP * 5252 / RPM
torque = 750 * 5252 / 18000= 218 ft/lbs
Even under the earlier rules where the formula was 3 liter V10s, unlimited on revs, and they were pushing 1000hp, there was still under 300 ft/lbs of peak torque.

are you really comparing a f1 car to a honda civic? WOW!

Where do you think F1 got all of their racing knowledge from?From Honda civics of course, not 60 years of research and development by the various teams.:icon_scratch:

I guess nobody ever bothered to think about most of the older rotary engines, and even the newer NA ones. The current RX8 is only rated at 159 ft/lb.
Unless I misremember, plenty of race-tuned S2000s are/were less than 200 ft/lb of torque.What about how light F1 cars are? The minimum race weight is 620kg (1367lb). How fast is a stock S2000/RX8/etc? How fast would it be with half the weight and less wind resistance? Science rules.
