Found while surfing:
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall;
torque is how far you take the wall with you.

pretty good!
I like to think of it this way:
When you are at constant speed, horspower is how far you have the throttle open. A less open throttle means more HP. How quickly you accelerate is basically your torque.

Somehow that just didn't have the same visual as the wall did.
