Like you said, it's the torque/radius of the wheel.

The radius of the wheel acts like a gear ratio as well since your mechanical advantage changes with the radius of the wheel.

Yea that's what I meant.

 

What about the rest of the post? Do you just read one line and ignore the rest?

I think when most people talk about acceration in a car they are talking about going faster. The equations that we are posting are for static acceleration. Unless there is a change in time there is no change in velocity. In the real world there is time. You can't ignore that.
