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.

I'm beginning to lose the will to live!

Yesterday, you you agreed with my two propositions. Please re-read the
second one and then explain why you are contradicting yourself by what
you are now saying.

In your second point you specified a road speed that coincided with
maximum BHP. Therefore it would be impossible to be at the same speed in
the same gear and at maximum torque. But perhaps you meant something else?
