That is incorrect. At any given speed (all speeds...) power to weight determines acceleration. The car that makes more power to weight will accelerate harder. There are some minor corrections to this for losses, gear inertia, etc. but power to weight it all that matters. As stated prior in a battle involving a wide range of speeds and shifts shift time is also a very significant factor. Torque is mostly meaningless. This topic has been discussed and debated time and time again here on the forum and the conclusion is always the same.
