Very simple rationale: Look at the test data available to date. Similar hp = similar 0-300 performance (within 2-4 seconds). It is as simple as that
If you want a quick example of why torque curves give you a good picture of driveability and acceleration, take a torque laden car (the 997tt) and hold it in 6th. Then accelerate from 60-120mph or so. Do the same with a 430 or M6. The difference will be dramatic. The 430 or M6 would have to go down a couple of gears (gear ratios amplify torque) to match the 997tt.
I agree that turbo/na cars accelerate differently. My above arguments were more focused on the best achievable 0-300 times rather than high-speed performance in the highest gear
