How do we factor torque?

Almost everyone uses pound per horsepower ratio's, or want to know how much horsepower a car makes, but that is only half of the story. What I want to know is how do we factor how much torque an engine makes into the performance of car? I always figured torque was more of a low-end off the line kind of thing, where as horsepower was a top-end kind of power. Am I right or wrong?
