I never said you need to land on the power peek. However, what I do imply is that you need to hold onto a gear until the power available in the higher gear exceed the power in the current gear or hit redline. In other words, you need to constantly maximize power to maximize acceleration.

I agree, power to wheel is independent of gear ratio, and that is exactly the point. Remember: a=P/(mv). Think about it a little, and it will come to you .

Yes, that's correct. LOL
