Torque = Driveability ? (Engine Masters LSA shootout)

Plus if you compare to a stock motorhome 440 which would be very streetable but doesn't make much torque basically around 1 tq per cid which is a lot less than a the 106 lsa 1.33 tq per cid, never mind what a stock 360 or even a /6 has down low. Why wouldn't highway gears have a driveability issue since it throws tons of torque away compared to deeper gears if less torque made driveability issues?
