I went to the Dynodaze event yesterday, and should have ask this while I was there. On my runs I notice the sport button had not been used, and they were good enough to do a 3rd run. Now for my question. The Bhp stayed constant at 152, but the torque went up a lot, from 185 to 202 ft-lb( 270 Nm in new money.) does this mean I have a lot of torque(average for ss 170 ft-lb) Can any of you tech guys explain these figures in simple form, and the advantage of the extra torque.
May I add on my first event you all very welcoming and friendly and great to see other Abarths.

That's a crime for not turning on Sport mode in the Abarth

Torque is a force that produces rotation, so the more torque that is available the quicker the wheel is rotated. This increases the rate of acceleration. It has been suggested in non sport mode, the reduction in torque and maybe reduction in fuel consumption, helps in achieving a lower overall emissions figure for the car.
It was felt that the dyno on the day was maybe not as optimistic as other dynos or under read. As a one off, of measuring power, the figures should not be taken too seriously, if they are in the round about region of where they should be.
