I love this topic, it's amazing to me how we all have our own way of saying it. I understood it to mean that HP was how much air is being moved through an engine, ie Volumetric efficiency. My Viggen and my 7.3liter diesel both have 230 hp or they are both moving identicle amounts of air. Viggen @ 5500rpm, the truck @ 3000 rpm. Torque is the actual twisting force the engine creates, Vig 258, truck 525. Even if they had the same gears, you couldn't tow the same amount in the vig. HP sells cars, torque moves them. thats my two cents. cheers
