I was comparing cars with autotrader's car compare tool and I decided to compare my car 2001 3.8 with my friends 2004 3.8 Mustang. I was looking under the horsepower and torque sections and I see this.
Firebird
200 hp @ 5200 rpm
225 ft-lbs @ 4000 rpm
Mustang
190 hp @ 5250 rpm
220 ft-lbs @ 2750 rpm
So the Mustang reaches maximum torque at a lot lower rpms then my car. Does this mean when hits the pedal he'll get more of a push back then I would at 2750 rpms? I really don't know much about cars, but that doesn't mean his car would be a lot faster would it?
