back on target. torque is what you feel when you push the accelerator.
torque is good for city driving, but power is good for higher speeds.

i prefer HP comparisons because it inheriantly includes the rpm into the equation.

if you were to compare two cars acceleration but only in one gear, the higher TQ car would win, but if you compare two cars accel accross multiple gears, the higher HP car would win.
