30-50mph times

Hi, some suggestions:

- Change the 4th gear demand to any gear that's quickest.
- State which 30-50 time you mean. I would say constant speed of 30mph/50kph and then accelerating and timing untill 50mph/80kph.
- Maybe change 30-50 to 50-75mph (80-120kph) takes more time and as such is easier to safely measure. 30-50 takes about 2 seconds in some cars.

@ Robo: Lennert this is an excellent way of comparing setups. Wheel-horsepower is a terrible measure to compare engines since every dyno produces different numbers. Dutch dyno's in particular spit 10-20 more WHP then comparable dyno's in the world. This would be a nice oportunity to prove that we also have the quickest stock engines in the world (a stock 170hp blacktop comes to mind as well as a 20 year old stock bluetop spitting out 130hp).
Acceleration is what matters in the real world, no matter what a dyno says. So it will be nice if we can see how much you can compensate through weight reduction and gearing and just how important HP really is for performance.

50-75 is the most important speedrange on a track..its the "dragrace" from one corner exit to the next entry.
