to use an old racers saying, HP doesn't win races, torque wins races. 
Torque gets you moving, hp allows you to maintain speed once the torque 
drops off. The curve of which determines how fast the end result is.
    


GLAD to hear someone else say something like that!

I've said for years that HP is what you brag about, 

torque is what turns the wheels.  :-)  It's SO hard

to convince someone that a smaller hp diesel CAN 
outperform a larger HP gasser because it has MORE 

torque!
