well if you're going to get technical, you can't just look at torque either.
believe it or not, torque is really quite meaningless in and of itself. even looking at peak torque of different cars means nothing. just cuz one car has more torque doesn't mean it's going to win.
my favorite example.
302 lb/ft mustang GT
and
153 lb/ft S2000. save a 400 pound weight advantage, the mustang should still win with twice the torque, right?
wrong. the S2000 is faster. that's becuase torque in and of itself is meaningless.
hp is much better at giving an overall idea of how fast a car is, hence the reason horsepower is what sells. torque doesn't win races. that's just an incorrect statement.
if you want to look at torque, then you must factor in every aspecet that involves torque.... this is torque at a given rpm, gearing, and wheel circumference. to determine force output to the wheels, you use this formula.
torque(at a given rpm)*current drive gear*final drive gear/(wheel circumference*pi)
