WOW! Another good post!
Just lots of good information........that's no fun......take a swipe at somebody!
I do think, however, that the above is backwards:
Torque is how much you can lift; HP is how fast you can lift it.
My little diesel tractor has GOBS of torque. It could move a loaded semi with the wheels locked (if it had enough traction) but it sure wouldn't move it very fast!
