Hey Grumpy:
Cars with more low end torque have more low end power! Power is nothing more than torque X RPM. Engines with more HP through the whole RPM range will outperform with less HP through the same range.

Do you really think that 500 FT-LBS of torque at 2000 RPM will out perform 350 FT-LBS at 5500? I think not!
