EXACTLY!
Was it shelby that first said it?
BHP sells car's torque win's races.
Worse thing is, it's always the "no it all's moto".
F1 car's have less torque than my grandad's diesel, but i know which would be quicker.
The only advantage or torque IMO is you don't have to drive it as hard, i.e. can be in wrong gear and it's more forgiving.
