>So is the HP curve enough to know how fast you will accelerate, you dont need to know torque for that?
The greater the angle in which the torque curve rises from idle dictates a higher ability to move weight and a higher throttle response.

Torque is a measurement of the ability to get weight moving.

>And where does torque come from?
Distribution of rotational forces (weight and vacuum and combustion) from engine pumping to the tires via the drivetrain.

>And why is torque dependent on engine RPMs?
The camshaft. It is the brain of an engine.

I still can't wrap my head around hp vs torque. From what I can understand, the engine has a torque curve for each RPM, and HP is merely a…
