Now you can also see that talking about Torque as an absolute number can be very misleading as it doesn't allow a direct comparison between 2 engines. Torque can always be transformed by a gearbox, whereas the power stays constant (not regarding losses in the gearbox).
What I think is torque is reported at the engine and not at the wheels, so the gearbox is irrelevant to the reported value. Sure, you can always lower the gear ratio to increase the torque at the wheels, but if you redline at 1.5mph, you haven't helped yourself any unless your goal is to power the car. Please do correct if I am wrong.
