don't want to be '/that guy/' but...
horsepower is a measurement of energy over time.
torque is a measurement of (rotating) force.
force times distance equals an amount of energy. (like torque times a certain amount of rotations).
now remember: energy over time is power (measured in hp).
thus (force times distance) over time is power.
like: (torque times rotations) over minutes is horsepower. This can be rewritten as torque times rotations per minute equals horsepower.
(mind you, i let out conversion constants like 1 minute is 60 seconds [both units of time]. to calculate the exact number you'd have to do a proper calculation in the correct units)

torque is what gets things moving
perfect for vehicles that actually have practical seating/cargo space

Depends how heavy the car is.
I wouldn't drive a pigfat autotragic so A in a light manual car would be much more fun and appropriate to daily.

My commute doesn't involve towing a trailer so I'll take the extra HP every time.
