I am confused at the route of our conversation now... In summary, what I am saying is that a 370z in first gear making 180 torque, will accelerate faster than a 370z in 2nd gear making 250 torque.

180 x 14.01 = 2521
250 x 8.58 = 2145

If you were wondering, 14.01 and 8.58 are the torque multiplication factors of a 370z 6MT in first in second gear with stock final drive.

Do not worry about how fast the RPMs climb, worry about how fast the speed climbs. You are totally overlooking the point of a transmission and final drive.
