I might agree that maximum acceleration in any gear would occur at the
maximum engine torque in that gear, the fact in itself is most unhelpful
in determining 0 to 60mph times.

And in the original discussion, 0-60 times weren't mentioned. Just the
point in an engine's output where the best acceleration occurred. Which of
course is at maximum torque, not maximum BHP.

Actual 0-60 times depends on so much more.

If you can understand the OP's question, you will accept that there are
scant details to provide an answer.

I was commenting on the assertion that torque is an irrelevance to the
acceleration of a car where 0-62mph times were mentioned. The OP's
question was something like 40 posts ago in this specific thread.
