Hi Ken,

Actually, the gear ratio doesn't have anything to do with the amount
of acceleration of the car. That has to do with the power curve of the
engine, how much horsepower is available, and how much torque is
available at the moment. Once you know those things you can easily
divide the available amount of horsepower and acceleration up into
gear ratios like first, second, third, etc.

Cheers!
