Right with a carefull choice of words, bu tim sure you get the drift!
Say if two honda civics approach a motorway slip road parrallel to each other, one a Typre R @ 200BHP/142lb and the other a Diesel @ 190BHP/300+ lb

which would reach "70 mph" first???
Ive never driven the Type R but 300lb of torque is a hell of a lot!!! Maybe its a no brainer but just wanted to satisfy my curiosity
