It would make sense also if you said horsepower is what accelerates the car but in my mind its the torque that gives it the pull.

It's my understanding that torque is your 0-60 MPH time, and horsepower is your 60-120 MPH... IE why Semi trucks have 500 HP and 1,500 lb/ft torque. Semi trucks aren't necessarily going to win any 0-60 contests because they're not geared for it, but still.
