To most of the people in this discussion, the discussion is about how to
achieve maximum acceleration during normal (or rather 'spirited')
driving, at whatever start and end speed the situation requires - and
the answer to that is to choose the right gear to get as near to maximum
power as you can, not maximum engine torque.

No. Vir Campestris started it again after say the same as many on here
seem to think. That an engine accelerates at its best at peak BHP. But was
wrong before and is wrong now.
