Math and cars?? :O

Man.....While talking about automobiles how losely we use terms such as power,torque,torsion etc.As a mechanical engineer it has taken me quite a while to figure out all that the number crunching,the head breaking formulaes and those assumptions u have to make most of the tym.Makes me wonder how much work goes into those small numbers we take for granted,while loosely discussing cars.Been in a design and fabrication project on cars recently I have begun to realise and respect them.

Btw,Does anyone knw how much BHP the new 'scud' has?? :D
