for instance my low hp 66 stang will out run 450+hp cars because it has more tq. Better 60' equals faster et. So hp is not always important

Are you referring to just Mustangs or cars in general? Ferraris have incredible acceleration while having very high horsepower and very low amounts of torque. Same with NA Porsches. This has been true before launch control too.
Hell, a Boss 302 is faster than a normal GT and the GT has more torque but less power.
