I am often curious as to what is more important HP or Torque. Both are very important and serve different types of driving yet they both accomplish the same thing, Speed. Its usually very difficult to have both as well because when you have an engine that has huge displacement (for torque) its difficult to also make the engine high reving to produce the necesarry hp. So what would rather have in your automobile HP or Torque. I know the new AMG 63 engines have seemed to accomplish both but for now what would you rather have and why?
