Gerry, what they are telling you is that their engine delivers more torque at
EVERY RPM than Cosworth. Only reciprocating steam and pneumatic engines give
maximum torque at 0 rpm, and then only provided one of the pistons is in
mid-stroke and it is set in full gear.
At 0 rpm in an internal combustion engine, you get 0 torque - it's turned off.
Regards,
Owen.

Spotted in Prodrive's 'showroom' at Banbury, their engine for the BTCC racing
Mondeo. An interesting conversion for some of you Roadster chaps- if you can
find room for the induction system under the bonnet!
I'm puzzled by the statement in paragraph 5, 'The changes ensured that the
minimum torque in the Prodrive engine was actually higher than the maximum
achieved from that for the Cosworth'. I would have thought that the minimum
torque from any engine would be produced at idle, and surely no-one would
attempt to go racing with as little as that. I await enlightenment from the
engineers amongst us.
Gerry.
