What I want to know is what exactly is the difference between hp and torque?
I know its a matter of preference and its a trade off, but which is preferable?
People always talk about hp, but i've heard that torque is what really matters when it comes to power.
Basically, anything you could tell me about this topic would be helpful.

Okay, I know this is a very broad question(s), so if you wanna just post a link or a site where i could find this info id appriciate it (cause ive searched, and can't find diddley-squatt on this topic). Thanks again.
