Torque without rotational movement is useless just like Coke without Crown is useless.
Torque without rotation is not useless. What holds a truck still parked on a hill? How much hp does it take to hold that truck?
Brakes and friction. However I was jokingly speaking in terms of moving 12.5k lbs up a hill at 60 mph. If there is no movement and the engine does not have enough torque to rotate the crank then it can't reach 60 mph or any speed. Once it does have enough torque to move the crank then it is making horsepower.
