For the sensation of feeling fast it is nice to be able to roll into it at a low rpm and get a rush of power without a downshift and a bunch of noise so for this more power under the curve is fun but if your actually racing someone you are going to want to pin it and get those rpms up.
Hp is what does the work and moves the car.

It's funny that you mention all of this. I read a ton of articles arguing which is better HP or TQ. I would say 7 out of 10 articles argued that HP was more important.
