Hell, even big V8s rev out to.. what? 7500? 8000rpm? Why don't they use truck engines that rev out to 1000rpm and produce shitloads of torque if power doesn't matter? Because with more revs - even with no more torque - you can run a shorter diff ratio and so make more torque at the wheels, so the car accelerates faster. E.G. F1 cars. The engines today hardly make any more torque at the flywheel than they did in the late 1960's. They also don't have a top speed a great deal higher either. However, instead of the 11,000rpm odd they used to run at, they're now at 19,000rpm and so are making about 72% more torque at the wheels. That's one reason why they're so much faster than before.
