Ok so i can be at 3000 RPM's with the throttle fully opened and the engine's power would be ~100 HP but if I am at 3000 RPM's and the throttle only halfway open then the engine's power would be ~50 HP?

I am working on a vehicle simulation and I have calculated the torque to the wheel using engine RPM and the corresponding amount of HP. Then I multiplied that torque by the gear ratios but I do not understand how at a higher gear the ratio is smaller but it is suppose to go faster than the...

Maybe you can better explain something to me, How do we convert from drive wheel torque to forward velocity of the vehicle. I am missing something and it isn't making a whole lot of sense.

the vehicle mass is 2359 kg so 23118.2 Newtons the vehicle is a normal 4 wheel vehicle with about 50% of the mass is on the drive wheels. Also how did you determine this?

I have been reading on these forums for a bit learning about vehicles and their physics. I still have a few questions and do want to clarify some things as well. I am trying to simulate a vehicle give some basic info you can find online about any car or vehicle. I know Peak HP and the...
