It's horses for courses, if you're likely to tow a lot and load the

Probably. I distinguish between drivable and race-able.
If you have to downshift in order to accelerate, for
_normal_ driving, that's bad.

Let me suggest that your statement is more theoretical than practical.
On the street, you want torque.
If you are a Nascar racer on the track, you want horsepower.
