We’re are not saying that we hate horsepower or have contempt for torque. We love unrefined power just as much as the next guy. But buyers need to know that having a 707 horsepower Dodge Hellcat might feel a little unwieldy since it weighs about as much as a small rhinoceros. Power can easily be negated by weight, and in the case of some of the smaller cars listed in a piece we did on performance recently, it is quite obvious that American car buyers are finally beginning to grasp this fact. But for those of you who need a bit of a crash course this cheat sheet is for you, as it highlights the strengths and weaknesses of both torque and horsepower, along with how they are measured.
