I'm a bit fan of torque motors in a cobra. I find it quite useful when towing my pickup to the mud pulls or when my tractor breaks and I need it to plow the fields with it.
Still trying to remember the last time I heard a racer (in any autosport) saying: "Sure wish I had a lower reving motor". Then there was the cobra guy saying, "I need to get rid of this 600hp motor so that I can get more torque down low".
