BHP is the measure of charlatans (bhp = (torque x RPM) / 5252), torque is what you actually use. Henning has 184 lb/ft vs. 91 for your Polo.



If only the Aldi had those prices in mind
Seem fairly evenly matched then-your passat is almost 2x weight of polo, and 2x torque..

We should drag race to settle it!
