3SGTE with 4WD in a 4WD Toyota Runx

[pc]

there is a good comparison between an F1 engine and a 14 litre truck deisel motor, F1 engine all HP and no torque, Deisel truck motor massive torque but under half the HP of the F1 car. The vehicle with more HP will accelerate faster.

Sorry, That's a useless comparison. The F1 car weights stuff all with stuff all drag, the truck weighs heaps and is shaped like a big brick.

similar torque engines, the higher rev engine is better.
similar rev engines, the higher torque engine is better.
not taking into account torque curve and position in rev range, or how the gear ratios work with that torque curve, or of course the weight/size of the engines or the vehicles they are in.

Sorry can't help with original question

Yeah that doesnt work, as if u put the F1 engine in the truck, and the big diesel in the F1 car the result would still be the same. i doubt a f1 engine could move a big truck away from a start.. where the truck engine would do instant burnouts.

I say the torque band is the most important aspect of predicting engines performance

You just hit the nail on the head because the same torque at higher rev is what HORSEPOWER is!!!!!!!!!!!!!
