Not Ranked
The statement was made that it is torque that moves the car, snaps your neck and spins the tires. However it is not torque at the crank that does this, it is the torque AT THE WHEELS that does this. So if you have a higher hp car with less torque (at the crank), you still get more torque at the wheels where it matters if you use the right gears to match the engine characteristics. It is really very simple. This is hot rodding 101.
