I did a little test with my Defender which has max torque at about 2000
rpm and max power at about 3500 rpm.
Going up the gears and accelerating as fast as I could I never got
anywhere near max power in any gear before I could feel the acceleration
dropping off.
But did changing to a higher gear result in faster acceleration?
Faster compared to what?
