I'm always amazed at the number of people who are stuck on torque being such an important engine parameter. It's HP that gets the job done (ie, moves or accelerates a vehicle) and RPM can be traded for torque (with gears).

I agree that a engine that generates a good amount of HP over a wide RPM range (vs a peak at a single RPM) can be important. But give me the HP and RPM specs and torque doesn't matter.
