power, torque and 0-60

[yellowperil]

I've long been baffled about the physical explanation of the difference between power and torque. Here is an excellent article that explains it all and what they mean for 0-60 times. Assuming a Chim 4.5 hits 40mph in first and 62mph in second, the equations give a 4.8s 0-60 (so it seems to work!)
