Message HP doesn't break tires loose because it's just torquexrpm/5250

Given that formula, you could theoretically have 1,000hp and 1 lb of torque if you revved high enough. It's the torque which breaks tires loose. Look at all those worthless V8 cars from the 80's. Big 4000 lb vehicle with inefficient 135 hp V8, but they can still smoke the tires (and that's about it, lol)
