hp = (tq*rpm)/5252
500 = (44*rpm)/5252
500*5252 = 44*rpm
500*5252/44= rpm
Um...if my calculations are correct u would need to rev to 59,681rpm!!:Q Damn I knew jap cars were high reving!!
I think GT is wrong somehow.
I think you would be dodging flying pistons at a lot less than 60,000rpm.
<edit: that equation assumes HPmax would occur at TQmax, which it wouldn't but it is roughly correct, need to know HP @ TQmax to be correct. I would imagine HP would be around the 400 mark at the point of maximum torque, so just replace 500 for 400 in the equation, still gives u 48,000rpm...ouch! Torque & HP are always the same at 5252rpm, 441ftlbs sounds more like it, decimal point is in the wrong place>
