>>2)Bonbon的one gear model.说的无非是A(V)=T(V) (乎略常数和质量).

Looks like you got confused by reading ifidonlike's posts. My model calculates T(v1, v2), total acceleration time from v1 to v2. "One-gear model" means breaking up that time into time spent in each gear and summing them up. My result is that even if you start with the power curve to do this calculation, in the end result you divide power by rpm to use the torque curve only.

I know that you've pointed out before that these two curves determine each other. But there is a difference. If in the final formula it was the torque curve that needed to be multiplied with rpm, then I would have thrown out torque as a useful measure.

But why do I bother with this? Well, ifidonlike was wrong (you have to check his initial claims, not all his subsequent revisions after he had been attacked), and while others can argue with him on the specifics of peak-hp's inadequacy, I want to strike preemptively and knock out the very conceptual foundation of his claims. Horsepower is a religion that has fooled many people. Nietsche says "God is dead". :)
