Because you've singled out power to weight as some sort of benchmark.
And it would be easy enough to find a small capacity high revving bike
engine with the same sort of peak BHP as a lazy V8. Put them in
vehicles so the power to weight ratio is the same, and see which one
accelerates faster. It will be the one with the flatter torque curve.

It's not a practical thing to do - and you'd *have* to do it to prove
whether or not your statement is true.

Actually, quite easy to do.

But are you then saying power to weight isn't the be all and end all of
acceleration?
