More Torque than Hp?

I've always thought/heard that torque is King on the street and Horsepower is King at the track.
The reason being .... from my understanding... is by the time the HP is kicking in you're breaking the speed limit by a long shot. Speeding and street racing is illegal! :D

As for Torque being King of the Street and HP King of the Track. Is cause in a NA engine there only two main ways to make HP which is rpm and torque. On the street you want good power from idle to 4000rpm and above is secondary so your hands are tied with rpm so Torque is your only means in which to build hp mainly by increasing cid and VE. On the track you have less restriction so you can also use rpm. Which by the way is also increasing the displacement in dynamic terms.
