Well Bruce I'll give it a shot.  I like to keep it simple. 

Torque is what moves you, HP is a bit more nebulous as it is a calculation. 

I always think of it this way, you have a 100hp diesel and 100hp gaz vehicle.  

in a Diesel Torque is what gets you humongous off the line pull.  It's a lot less in a gas engine for a number of reasons which Danny and others can elucidate.
