Ok so the faster your engine revs, but making the same horsepower wouldnt accerate faster at all. What would be the point of making an engine rev so dam high...to give the car more power band before requiring a shift to the next gear?

I have thought about it today and it made some sence...if your not applying more torque to the wheels your not going to accerate faster even if the engine is outputing the same torque faster in a same time period...its like kicking a ball...you can kick it very fast the same amount of force and it will go the same distance, but if u give it larger power kicks in the same time period the ball will go further.

How does horespower help the car against wind resistance? More strokes in the same amount of time with the same power pushes the car better through the wind, giving the wind less time to fight back the car would be the most logical explaination for that, to me.

I am trying to just give u guys what I think about this, but I guess I have some flaws...I think I understand this stuff now.

There is gotta be an easy analogy for all of this
