If you go back to the fundamentals, force=mass*acceleration, torque is a twisting force. It can be directly calculated to force by the wheel/tire radius, therefore it is the property that defines acceleration.

blue - you're missing some things. unfortunately in our goofy measuring units, it's simple to do. MNBoxster is spot on. a ft-lb is a unit of work. a lb-ft is a unit of force.
