If torque was all that was necessary, they'd be using tractor engines.

Don't watch motogp. Ever been to drag races? All about torque there.

I'm trying to remember the other old saying...

Something like

Torque moves you off the line, hp pushes you thru the gates or finish line...
or
Torque takes you ### mph, hp licks your asshole...

nope can't remember
