Please don't use 'power' as it seems to confuse so many on here. The
term is BHP - brake horse power.




And? Just what you find in that worth pasting without comment?



Your instructing me, that I should tailor my useage i.e. use BHP,
so as to pander to those very same "bar room mechanics" who you
choose to sneer at.


Sneering at those who only 'know' BHP and don't understand torque. And
therefore argue black is white.

The trouble with 'power' is it means different things to different people.

BHP is the common term in the UK for car engines. But it does need to be
used correctly.
