Sometimes we forget about
Torque. Torque is often described as the "seat of the pants feel" when accelerating. Small displacement engines are usually light on torque and need a lot of RPM's to obtain peak power at the highest RPM ranges. Larger engines feel the power when you punch it at lower RPM's. A phrase I heard once that makes sense is: Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall and Torque is how much of the wall you take with you....
