I think you missed the fundamental relationship that Power = force x velocity. Torque does not take time into account. Power does, and any calculation involving a dynamic variable, such as vehicle acceleration or velocity, must include time. Force and torque are not a dynamic quantities unless they act over a distance in some time period, which is power.

It's a difficult concept to comprehend, and not at all easy to explain.

Sitting down with a basic physics tests and reviewing the concepts of work, energy, and power might help you out.
