Oh hoooo somebody in MINDEF is gonna be in hot water for this mishap . <| sep |> Bitcoin may not have a single defintion but it has unique real life constraints , tradeoffs and value propositions . You can call an airplane a space traversing vehicle but it will never reach the moon . <| sep |> NoYou want maximum area under the horsepower curve . Acceleration is a function of horsepower delivered to the rear wheel . For the same mass , more HP at the wheel always means more acceleration . Yes , gear ratio and torque and engine RPM are all parameters that determine HP at the wheel , but there is no need to wax philosophical about it the end result is a single number of HP at the wheel and you want as much of it for as long as possible to get the maximum accelerationEdit of course things get trickier when you also have to factor in grip and wheel slip , but we ' re ignoring that for the moment , right ?
