Peter;
If I still had my Dodge Coronet 500 with the 440 Magnum and 4 Speed, I would extend an invitation for you to come over and drive it, whence you would understand torque to a depth far greater than your calculater can demonstrate. One of the torqueiest motors ever was the 455 Olds with it's 4.25" stroke. (not trying to start another argument here)
A formula 1 engine pulling heavy loads in a truck? That's an absurd suggestion. Without the twisting force of the torque, you couldn't get moving.
How this relates to saws rather than cars and trucks is of course a bit different, as some of us may confuse chain speed and power and therefore, how it relates to torque. I think that most of us would think that torque plays a role in a saws ability to continue cutting when you really lean on it, as opposed to a saw whose chain stops when you try to push it hard.
