Seriously, that is the first one I have seen posted in that format without any RPMs. It would appear it was started in 1st and then the car was accelerated up through the gears to arrive at the final output. I am not saying that it is inaccurate, but I would imagine that one could not reliable compare that type of graph/findings with the other, fixed gear, RPM/power graph. I am certainly not 'dynoman' or anything, but they appear to be two different tests. Anyone here knowledgeable about this? Step?
