LB / FT Question

Mark_Dj

What does it mean. This is an example

Vectra Sri 2.2 Diesel LB / FT - 206@1500
Astra Gsi Turbo LB / FT - 184@1950

It's just the first figure means my diesel has more of it, whatever it is dunno.. . Does it mean my car pulls away quicker at traffic lights notsure.gif

lbs/ft is the amount of torque that your car has. Yes you should pull away quicker lower down in the rev range.

Cool. Good to see a diesel has a little chance at the lights lol

vocky

ib ft is the torque, it means your diesel has a stronger pull than the gsi 🙂

the force behind the punch, so to speak 🙂

Sounds good. I was looking at all the Vectra figures and the diesel has the most, infact it beats most things and the St 200. I know for a fact I would get left behind very quickly lol
