TORQUE vs HP - Deep understanding of Horsepower and Torque

In this video, we dive deep into the ongoing debate between torque and horsepower-what they are, where they come from, and which one really matters more in your car. 🚗💨
You’ve probably heard phrases like "torque is better than horsepower," but is that really the full story? We break down the science behind torque and horsepower, explain how they work together, and reveal why focusing on just one number can be misleading when it comes to understanding engine performance.

And then there are gearboxes and drivetrains.
I drive a 2009 EDM Accord (2.4L) which is relatively short geared. Compared to more modern turbo engines, which have significantly more torque, i still prefer driving the N/A one.
Yes its reving a good bit higher than modern engines, but overall i can shift gears less often.
between citiy roads (50kph) and country roads (70-100kph), i must not shift with the N/A engine and can drive always in 6th, but the turbos often require driving 50 in 4th, and then shifting up to 5/6 on country roads.

Does this also mean that higher torque makes weight differances less noticable? For example for a truck, 200 nm 100hp vs 100nm 200hp, which is better?
