This wording doesn't sit quite right with me: "Peak acceleration at any given speed occurs at peak power."
I would say: Peak acceleration occurs in whatever gear that gets you to peak power (i.e. RPM) in the shortest amount of time.
For example, if the M3 makes peak power at 8000RPM, and your car is at a steady 8000RPM, then you're not accelerating anymore. Your speed is what ever it is, but Acceleration is 0.
Does this make sense to you guys?
