the fucking car is gonna accelerate alot more at 20 grand then 10 dude....
horsepower is how fast the torque is being used.
TORQUE IS A FUCKING DEAD WEIGHT...HORSEPOWER MOVES IT!
max accleration isnt defined by torque or horespower, but maximum power wich depends on the torque and hp curves...thats why it is important to know both numbers!
Not trying to be confrontational...but this is all wrong
If Tq is the same from 10k to 20k...acceleration will be the same (minus wind resistnace and rolling resistance etc).
TQ is the only thing thats applied and used. HP has no application other than to show total work.
