Depends where you are making the power on the torque curve. If you make the power early like a truck engine you have lots or torque, low hp. If you make it at high rpms like mustang gt350, e9x m3, etc, gou have higher hp, lower torque numbers. Generally in cars higher torque than hp = better acceleration, especially from a launch, higher hp than torque = higher top speed. Turbo cars also suck from launch due to lag, which is why turbos like to race after moving instead of from a stop. Muscle cars are usually torque monsters. Ferraris and exotics hp cars. The 911 in question must be brutal accelerating.
