There is an explanation on the web somewhere that I read a couple years back that explains why your logic is flawed. Basically, when you take gear ratios into effect, 1st gear at slightly less torque is still better than 2nd gear at higher torque, and so on. There is a certain point where it becomes detrimental to be in the lower gear, but it's still up near the red line, even for a wide-torque-band Saab. I've verified this at the 1/4 mile track, trying shifting at lower rpms and getting slower times.
