Torque doesn't accelerate the car alone its Torque X Rpm that does which is HP. Which is the definition of horsepower is to move Weight over a Distance in a certain amount of Time, EG... accelerate a car (weight) over a 1/4 mile (distance) in a E.T. (certain amount of time). If torque only mattered then they wouldn't of needed to come up with horsepower ratings, rpm is an equal force to torque, without either your car is going nowhere.

Again its Torque X RPM

Say for a minute you had a motor that had a perfectly flat torque curve from 1000 rpm to 6000 rpm and stays in the same gear. Discounting wind resistance the car will accelerate at a constant rate all though 1000-6000rpm because the torque is what is working. Yet the car is making 6 times as much HP at 6000 rpm it isn't accelerating any faster then it is at 1000 rpm.
