The torque is only being used for force transmision anyways since your pistons and car are not rolling down the road.

no, because you apparently did not read my statement.

i said at ANY GIVEN SPEED peak acceleration occurs at PEAK power. trust me, i am not wrong on this.

you may be an engineer but physics is my favorite subject. and judging by the As i have gotten in classical physics and most other schools of science, trust me, i understand what is going on. on top of it i figure out stuff like this and calculate things like this FOR FUN. if you wanna discuss further, please, by all means PM or IM me.
