I'm reading the new Car and Driver on the new Charger 4-Dr Hellcat (weighs 4600 pounds, but did 204 mph off showroom floor). Article
said in first gear the rear tires are seeing over 8000 ft-lbs of torque! What!!?? Seems they get that number my multiplying the engines
max torque of 650 ft-lb by the automatic trannys first gear ratio of about 12.5 to 1. First I have ever heard of torque
presented this way?
