Is Torque King?

Its about area under curve, and where in that curve your transmission/gearing keeps you.

for example new car with about 150hp can beat 300hp muscle car, even if muscle car has way more torque.
Why because of gearing and trans keeps that 150hp on tires right from start.

other simple example.
I had 50cc dirt bike at kid, we tuned it and it would rew 18000rpm. that thing was fast even when 0-14000rpm was useless, it made all power 14000-18000rpm.
But with good clutch operating i could keep that thing on that power curve.


But anyways torque is more fun on street car, makes tires go away :)
