My last post on this. I just don't like it when myths get perpetuated. PM me if you want to discuss more.
Almost correct. HP is the rate at which work is getting done.
CORRECT!!! However, this doesn't tell you how quickly it does it...
The reason you launch at peak hp is to go as fast as you can.
We have gears to keep the engine making as much power as possible.
I think wind and rolling resistance play a factor...
Traction is a factor, I'll give you that. This is one of the keys why imports tend to be slower. They are front wheel drive. Front wheel drive cars naturally have a traction disadvantage. But, let's not go into that. I don't want to start another argument...

FYI, I would love to see you launch at peak HP. Tranny go boom.
