Meh. Torque is irrelevant. Give me a long enough lever and I'll generate more torque than any car engine out there. Torque is only useful when it's combined with rpms, and torque*rpm is power.
A nice chunky power curve (which people tend to confuse with torque) is a nice thing, but torque on its own is pointless unless you don't have a gearbox. If you do have a gearbox, you can turn power into torque any time you like.
Bugger bhp, talk to me about torque.
