      Yeah. Torque (at the wheel) multiplied by the wheel radius will give the force that the car exerts on the ground, parallel to the ground. That will finally determine the acceleration of the car.

      Though from what I remember, torque is measured at the flywheel, so there’s more calculations you will have to do to get the correct answer.

        Whereas the torque of my limbs are measured at the fly of my pants, am I right? Up top!
