Car physics; rear/front differential ratio and velocity

Thanks. Interesting page.

I'll go for an estimate of 2:1.

It has been some time, so it might not be totally accurate. However, I
do have the 1.6 16-valve version, which is a bit more powerful than
the regular engine (inbetween the normal version and the GTI).

You should see the way I drive it! ;-) Perhaps 210Nm is the 'feeling',
lol.

...

Interesting way to look at torque generation.
Ok, the P206 number may need to be tuned down then to perhaps 160Nm.
Oh let's not estimate; here's a first-hit Google:

liter = 152Nm for my car.

Damn, it gets less all the time. Hope it will even START when I get
out of the office tonight! ;-)

(otherwise I'll just have to drive home in reverse, lol)
