| Dont hold me on this, but I think the reason for the later than max hp/torque redline is that: Just because you dont have max hp or torque being applied to your wheels at that particular point past max, there is still a lot of power being applied that is still accelerating you. No its not the most amount of power your car can produce, but as soon as you shift to the next gear(assuming you shift at or nere redline) your rpms will be at a close to max level of output maximizing the power into your acceleration. This is why the reason high rpm cars usually have a quicker acceleration(depending on gearing), because the acceleration is sustained longer in between shifts.
Hope this makes sense.
