There's no reason to put off learning more about horsepower, especially when you are ready to purchase a new vehicle. The power of the machine is vital to your success as a driver. It's true that any car that is operational will get you down the road, but is the power it possesses sufficient enough to prevent you from getting into trouble in tight situations?
Horsepower has been described as the power of one working pony to pull 33 pounds per minute. Most modern vehicles today are credited with multiple horsepower with the average car somewhere between 150 and 200 horsepower. That sounds like a lot of pulling power and when all systems are working as they were designed should be adequate for most drivers.
