hmm your argument does draw a good point that i did not reference to.. and that is that the actual % of loss is more so dictated by the gearing of the drive train.. and that IS a good, point for the argument on the whole.. but the point that i was making was that a higher torqued motor (IE: the V6) would require less power to move the drive train, and that in turn the % of power loss from the mass of the drive train, would be (and is) less.. but.... also, yes... the overall power loss is governed by gearing.. so we are both right... but that is also why you read the v6 swapped guys always looking to swap out there final gears to stretch em out a bit, since the v6 has more power and torque on tap, and can afford to.
like the old-school domestic guys at the strip, changing out rear ends and BOOM! gain X amount more torque to the wheels... -------------------- |
