"...as the HP curve is derived from torque, the torque curve directly reflects what's happening inside the engine, and that serves as the very cornerstone from which the rest of the picture is developed."
Beautifully worded, Ted! Nearly poetic even, in one of them non-rhyming sort of ways.

To all,
I have a comment about someone stating that "If torque were king, we'd all be driving turbo diesels."
There is an excellent comparison that should be brought up, the 335i vs 335d.
335i 3605lbs 300HP 300FtLbs 0-60 5.6 AutoTran //All from bmw's site
335d 3825lbs 265HP 425FtLbs 0-60 6.0 AutoTran
The 335i kicks the d models butt in all performance aspects.
