In my experience when someone tells you "its a torque motor" that's usually just someone's way of rationalizing their slow motor. Maybe the argument is that it feels fast.
You can target build an engine that makes torque with lacking power. Think like a 3rd gen TPI motor. I think they made 345 ft lbs and only 240 HP.
On the other hand I cant think of any motor that made big power numbers and didn't have requisite torque. Once you get way up there with race engines the power curve might be way higher, but the torque is still good. I don't think there is a motor out there that makes 900 Hp and 147 ft Lbs.
