People often ask me what makes me able to correct most mechanics, salespeople, journalists and even engineers. The only answer I can offer is that I’ve been obsessively collecting information for nearly 30 years (since before I could read, really) and am very careful about who I get my information from. Spending 50+ hours a week explaining and processing said information doesn’t hurt either.

I recently had a chance to thank Metric Mechanic’s Jim Rowe in person for the knowledge I found on his website some 10+ years ago.

Once you read Jim’s thoughts on horsepower and torque ratings and explanation of why final drive ratios have more effect on acceleration than horsepower figures it shoud be obvious how clueless most automotive ‘experts’ truly are.

Thank you, Jim, for sharing what you know with the world, free of charge. Yours is a great example to follow.
