Torque vs. Horsepower

There was a killer article in that last issue of Car and Driver or
MotorTrend last month
(since I get both, I don't recall which one) on this subject. The
article was called Torque Monsters. It featured the top 10 Torque
makers from various auto makers. Torque Monsters was printed in lime
green letters in big letters on the cover with a picture of a white
Viper GTS with blue racing strips. You could probably find it at a
large grocery store or book store, or perhaps online through the
internet.

Subject: DML: Torque Vs. Horsepower

Got a quick question. First, remember, there is no such thing as a
stupid
question, so be nice! Can someone please explain the difference between

Torque and Horsepower to me and what drivetrain qualities effect both??
This is something I've never really understood. (OK OK go ahead, call
me
stupid!)
