And I am well aware of the relationship between gearing, rpm, and mph. You didn't seem to understand the simple relationship between weight and torque. I'm done.
Tell those things to Ryan Woon. Is the fastest manually shifted 6-speed car a Mustang? A Camaro? A Corvette? A Viper? Nope. Its a Supra. That even amazes me. IRS with the Toyota 6-speed and everything that was on the car from the factory. Supras trap so high because they are hard to drag race, and most of these times you see are from 6-speeds. Supras are now pulling the front tires off the ground.
Torque does mean a lot, its gets the car moving. But saying you have torque down low doesn't mean anything as long as the other car knows how to use his torque even if its at 5000 RPM. From a roll brake boosting it key, and from a stop 2-step/Anti-lag is the shit.
