I agree with the first part of what you say, in terms of power at the
flywheel. But here we are concerned with power at the rear wheels and
gearing plays an important part of the equation. You may be at peak hp at
5500 rpm, but the torque at the rear wheels may be greater at something
above that than would be in the next gear. Did I say that right?
