Strong smell of spin here, in an effort to divert attention away from
people who haven't got this far?

That's what this thread has all been about. Red herrings galore.

If there's a danger of wheelspin, simply do the test in a higher gear.

The result will be the same. Maximum acceleration at maximum torque, not
maximum BHP.
