If metric is so much better than imperial them why do euros use hp?

we just don't know

>>17775236
hp is a measure of torque x rpm though

Institutional inertia.

Plus, do you really want people to know that your 300 Horsepower ricer engine only makes the same power output as about 220 microwave ovens?

They don't, they use Pferdestärke.

Kilowatts make more sense, but horsepower sounds cooler

>Using kraut units
go to hell, jerry

I suppose the answer is that the only operation that a consumer will ever perform with a car's power is to compare it with the power of another car, so the advantages of the SI are almost entirely irrelevant. Personally I passive-aggressively use kilowatts wherever possible. I know my own power output in watts, so it's nice to be able to keep both quantities in context.

>>17775253
Your point being?

>>17775278
Not universally.

>>17775284
That's just the kraut name.

>>17775298
>Using two numbers and two units is somehow easier to understand than one number and one unit
Needing outside assistance to make a conversion is a 'feature' of Imperial, not the SI.

>>17775305
but like you sound like a fag

>>17775332
This is true

>>17775278
?

>>17775396
Its rebadged hp

>>17775298
BLESS

because it gives bigger number.
also people generally associate watts with electricity, so using it for cars can probably confuse some people.

Get a load of this loser

>>17775417
No it's not.

if euros use metric, why is time still measured in 24?

Why do they still use inches on their wheels (and tires in FIA-sanctioned races)?

Why do the British still measure themselves in feet+inches and their speed limits in MPH?

>it's another "I am a dumb american" OP

imperial for length, weight, and volume is fucking stupid, deal with it fatasses

>>17775253
Torque is measured in ft/lbs not m/lbs

>>17775298
>horsefucker

please kill yourself faggot

>>17775236
they use all at the same time lol, kw, hp and ps (in germany)

>>17775685
and the best- british weight themselves in ''stone'' not kg/lb

>>17775747
Torque is also measured in N.m you dingus

If imperial is better why do you use liter. And gigabyte.

Oh, and the horsepower is metric too. The whole world uses it. There's an imperial HP as well but it's only used in this third world shit hole where a few Jews have billions and all the peasants call themselves rich.

>>17775680
ps is usually so close to hp its like saying "BHP"

its usually representative of whats coming out of the crank

>>17775236
We don't
PS / HP got declared deprecated in the 70s, the official unit for power is Watt.

>>17776655
This. Most car manufacturers and more serious magazines use kW.

>>17775278
this same dude is pushing german nationalist propaganda in a bunch of different threads on here

Living in the UK is pain
> Drive in Miles, cycle in km, messure in cm
>Order drinks in Pints, buy soda in ml
>Food in grams, weight in stone

Only benifit is being able to understand Euroland and Burgerland when on holiday

Historical habit. Most sources quote power in both hp and kW.

>>17776580
Yeah if you are a eurocuck

>>17777287
Rather be a """Eurocuck""" than an Amerikike.

As a brit, this is fucking retarded
Pints are the proper measurement of beer tho

>>17777777
Test

but we dont use horsepower

we use kilowats, even license limitations are in kilowats
