Here is another way to look at it. You can rough calculate HP by taking quarter mile trap speed with a known vehicle weight. The torque curve can be any of an infinite # of scenarios but the HP is the same. A vehicle with a higher or flatter torque curve may "feel" faster but at the end of the day it is the HP component that did the work.
Horsepower does no work, it is a calculation that tells you how muck work can be done in a time frame.
