Yeah... But a throttle is no on off switch. I would like to see a 45mph roll on between a 250 and that...
I'm not saying your wrong... I'm just saying I think it's crazy to say a 262hp car motor and 250cc dirt bike motor are equal.
Don't confuse torque with hp and rpm.....car motors have less rpm but more torque....because they
need it. So.....first....if you can turn the drive wheels on two different vehicles at the same rpm...and the tires are the same cirumference....they will travel
almost the same identical speed....
The only variable involved is traction.....period!!!!!
So while it takes a lot of torque to move a heavy vehicle from a start....that's wasted on a light vehicle and from a speed standpoint a detriment.....
So lets take this example....for clarity....we have an import running an 1/8 mile track...running about 300 hp.....
Now....lets take a top fuel dragster....running over 3000 hp....give them both the same drive tires....who is going to win????....Pedaling only goes so far....and BTW....the top fueler doesn't stand a chance....IMHO....
