The "closest to" is referring to gears when on the dyno. It is what it is, that's how cars are measured. There is nothing else other than sitting there trying to do a series of mathematical equations, that's what dynos do already. Pretty sure some can take into account the gearing ratio of a vehicle when the dyno operator puts in the parameters for that car. But seriously do we need to be THAT anal about it?
Sure you have more torque to the wheels in lower gears, but that is not how a car is dynoed.

its not me being anal. just me showing that some people are but its all good. having different reference points doesnt make cars any faster or slower, it just earns people posts with famous people doing facepalms in this pseudoculture where everybody is a badass thanks to google and the fact that there is a low chance for a physical encounter
