I'm not saying that torque isn't a factor, I was simply stating that a low revving motor will require more torque to get up to speed as fast as a high revving motor with a smaller ammount of torque. In a low revving motor you are going to have to shift more frequently, therefor your torque curve better be a good one. In a high revving motor you aren't going to have to shift as often, and when you do shift at 8K your rpm's aren't going to drop any further then 4-5K. In a low revving motor when you shift at 5-6K you are looking at starting the next gear around around 2-3K. Think about it.
