That is way way way to general of a statement...give me some rpm specifics. I still say, even in general, you are wrong.
Where do you think (during a race or spirited driving) your rpms are at for 90-95% of the time (upper rpms)...once the car is launched (assuming you even race from stop) you are only below 3k for almost literally a second with a geared car...so where do you think the rest of the 11-14 seconds is spent? In the higher rpms where it makes more pulling power and the torque starts spinning itself to horsepower and they begin to overlap nicely to provide a flat torque pull. Look at dyno sheets.
How bout this...you race your 5.0L (identical to mine for example) from 1,000-3,000rpm where you shift it at...and I'll "race" mine from 3,000-6,000rpm and will see who gets to the end sooner and who out accelerates who to 60mph I'm hoping your just a big ball of confusion right now because what your saying or stating is simply not true... Talk about early shifting
