The discussion is also about the driveability of motors. In this sense, the torque, HP, at various Rev ranges is very relevant.
Here is my Dyno graph. It is real and was done in second gear on a 4WD Dyno. The power is measured at the wheels and therefore there is usually a 30% to 40% power drop from ratings at the flywheel. The left edge of the graph is about 1,600 RPM. For those that can do the conversions, as the graph is in KW's and Nm's, at the wheels my car was putting out 260 ft lb of torque at 1600 Rpm. The torque then drops off from there.
