    What? Torque tells you what force can be applied at what distance from the center of rotation. Acceleration is a function of mass and force. Of course more torque is going to get you to accelerate faster.

      Remember, power is torque times RPM, which is your accelerating force. It’s a functionally useless measurement without RPM.

      An engine with half the torque revving twice as fast will make an equal amount of power, and accelerate equally fast.
