2006 BMW M5 (5 liter V10 7 speed with 500 horsepower & 383 torque) vs.
2007 Ford Shelby GT500 ( 5.4 liter V8 6 speed with 500 horsepower & 480
torque).   I don't know exactly what torque is but I heard that if a car has
more torque, it has more power.   If I am right, does that mean Ford Shelby
can outrun M5 from zero to sixty and high speed?.  Also M5 costs almost
twice as much than Shelby GT500 so seems Shelby is a better value.
Am I right?  Is there other side to this that I am ignorant about?

What is troll?   The dictionary says it's something to catch fish with.

In fishing, to troll is to trail bait through a likely area hoping for a bite.

In newsgroups, to troll is to make posts designed to attract multiple
responses from sincere newbies or excitable flamers who will jump in
and expose their cluelessness and gullibility.   Typical troll posting:

1.)   An apparently foolish contradiction of common knowledge,
2.)   A deliberately offensive insult to the readers of a newsgroup,
3.)   A broad request for trivial argumentative follow-up postings.

The OP's message looks like it falls in the 3rd category, and possibly
the 1st.     If so, it is a deliberate troll by someone trying to generate
controversy.   If not, it is just a naive newbie looking for attention.
