I think it's called elasticity. Measuring acceleration from 25 mph to 50 mph (40-80 kph) on a 3 gear (do not press clucth and rev up engine)

I have 6,7 sec.

 

Why 3th, why not just 2the

 

because on 3rd gear you start accelerating from about 2,000 RPM
It will show low-end acceleration.

 

screw the low end acceleration.

We want rpm B)

 

My car would do that in like 3 second... but its because its auto, and when I press the gas, he back to first or second ..........

But I don't think you shift every gear when you hit 5,000-6,000 RPM.

 

I usually downshift when I wanna accelerate fast, so yeah I shift back sometimes 2 gears so getting my rpm into the 4500+ rpm

auto doesn't downshift into first gear with 40 km/h laugh.gif

 

Ok, in traffic jams, in everyday driving it's useful to have high low-end torque.
If I want to accelerate hard I shift at 6,000 RPM.

This test shows driveability of the car.

 

I traffic I drive like a 80 year old. Shifting at 2500 (sometimes 2k). No need to floor the succer when there's someone in front. Sometimes when there's space getting it up to 6k.

running at redline perm, i'd say about 1 year after that your whole car is .....
