Message	[ http://www.g-speed.com/pbh/torque-and-hp.html ] It seems that HP is the "end all" formula or performance, but it's more theoretical, and harder to take full advantage of. Torque is more forgiving because you can stomp on a high torque car's gas at any time and it'll take off, a high HP/low torque car will bog if you don't drive it to the fullest to take full advantage of the high end power.
