In your example, two engines have the same power. One has less torque rating. Of course the one with less torque will loss :)
I know your point. Some jap cars tuned their engines to give high power for marketing reason, while sacrificing their torque curves. It is certainly their bad that they go to that extreme end. And it would not be optimum for acceleration. But on the other hand, focusing too much on flat torque curve or max torque while sacrificing a lot of power is not right either, at least from acceleration point of view. That goes to the other extreme end.
That's why I brought up the engine tuning topic since usually you can only trade off between torque and power. You can increase one, but the other becomes worse. To make the sweet spot, you have to balance between torque and power. I never said you were wrong. It is just going to either extreme side is not entirely correct. I think enough has been said. I will stop. Have a good day.
