It seems that car and motorcycle people are often obsessed with horsepower, but from what I've gathered, it seems that torque is actually the more important number in the real world.

Horsepower seems to become more important at triple digit speeds, such as in racing, but getting onto freeway on-ramps and 0-60 is more about the torque.

Thoughts?
