Much confusion

Over heard some of my fellow class mates talking about the difference between Kw and Nm. So what is the difference? It is simple. A Kw is a metric unit of power - Nm is the amount of torque an engine makes.

So how does it all work out in a car, the Golf R for example has a 2.0L turbocharged 188kw engine, @6000rpm all this power is available and between 2500-5000rpm 350Nm are available. 

Drag racing

Legal drag racing is a lot of fun but is limited to the amount of  street cars that are allowed to race.  A drug addict can't go an hour without a fix, the same story applies with drag racers - they cant wait for the next race (which normally comes around once a month). So in order to curb their craving they take to the streets.

Organisers want traffic officials to block certain roads so that they can lay down the rubber. What are your thoughts on this matter?
