Those zvh's do seem to produce some massive torque figures for the power they're puttin out don't they.....only thing i would say is that in a fwd car like an erst massive torque isn't the best way to make it go quickly, better to have an engine that revs instead of massive torque spikes. One well known car in particular that i seen at a thrash with over 300bhp/torque produced slower times than my 1.6 with 245bhp/230 torque, imo due to the massive torque it had and just lit em up through the 1st 3 gears! That was with a proper gearbox too..... Don't get me wrong it looked it had some serious grunt but i couldn't help thinkin it was in the wrong places! Just my opinion tho obviously.
