hitting max torque vs max HP and shifting...
My brother in law are in a friendly discussion that goes something like this:
He says: For a 1/4 mile track, you will go slower (time not speed) if you red line/shift your car for each gear vs shitting when you hit the max torque for each gear.
I say, both need to hit their max during each gear, no matter which one, torque or HP hits first vs second.
So is there any logic in either opinion? This conversation started after we saw a dyno graph for a 2021 ZL1 that showed the below and he said "that guy needs to find the max torque for each gear and shift at that rpm!
max Max Power = 715.62 @ 6659rpm and Max Torque = 696.51 @ 4443rpm
