Ram Eco-Diesel vs F150 2.7 TT - Davis Dam
You just know it's not gonna be close! So which is better? Horsepower or torque lol. (The answer is both, apparently.)

When a car puts you back in your seat that is because the car is accelerating. The faster the car accelerates the more it will push you back.
Force applied in a unit of time describes horsepower and not torque.
Choosing an engine that has more torque may not accelerate the car faster.
But choosing an engine that has more horsepower will definitely increase the force it will set you back in the seat.
Well said and on the money.
On a bike I can put out about 200 ft/lbs of torque and about 1/2 HP. A 5 HP with 9 ft/lbs of torque go-cart would wax me in a drag race.
