It grinds my gears when people confuse this but it's understandable
torque for low down power
The ease of getting off the line
Torque is not that jolt you feel
Etc
Or any other explanation for this that confused torque for power at any situation
But it's understandable
Torque Is only a momentary force.
And can only be used as a measure of momentary force
Power is what moves you
Know a little physics and you'll understand this
While yes horsepower is torque over time
That time part is the key part
If you have tons or torque but it takes forever you'll have **** power
Vice versa
Hence why rotary engines can produce so high power numbers and insane acceleration with little torque
Time is key
Horsepower is a measure of energy
And if you know physics you know energy is what moves you
No if ands or butts
A more "torquey" engine will make more power down low and better average power
Hence the myth
But don't take my word for it
Maybe a engineer can tell you
