OK, let me try this on a more layman's term.
When a person lifts a dumbell with his hand, the maximum weight he can lift is the torque, while HP is calculated by (the weight of the dumbell multiply by the distance of the motion) and divided by seconds. So guys, is that true? |

QUOTE(alaskanbunny @ Dec 10 2009, 12:51 PM) yes.. that's true... very good explanation.. but errr... what happens if the guys carries the weight which is not maximum? That means he hasn't reached his maximum torque. That's why in performance statistic the attributes would be 'maximum torque'. |
