this is what torque and power is to me

Torque takes care of acceleration but as it drops of quite eirly its no good for top speed

Power takes care of top speed but as it takes a while to build up its no good for acceleration

that means you need one to help the other, you use the torque to get your accelration but when that runs out power takes over to get your top speed

everyone follow that ?
