I realize that. I also have been around long enough to know most guys are more impressed by being able to drive 10 MPH in high gear and fog the tires. I'm not impressed by that.
The fact still remains that in the end of all bullshit, torque does very little of the actual work to move the car without a bunch of help.
If any doubt that, use a direct drive gear box and. 1:1 rear axle ratio. Use a clutch so you don't have any torque multiplication from that. You'll just have engine torque to move the car.
