I have a question, as this seems like the most random, unscientific test I've ever seen.

What is the correct way to measure a 100 to 200kmh time???

Should you not measure from either:

A. a standstill, as this shows the accelerative force a car carries through the run

or

B. driving at a steady 100kmh and then flooring the accelerator until the car reaches 200kmh

"B" would seem to make the most sense to me...

In each one of the 100-200kmh runs, he floors the accelerator from a different, random speed, although each time well below 100kmh.

Since there was zero consistency in how he began each run, every car would react differently, based on the specific speed you happen to floor the accelerator, its engine's power-band, transmission response, etc., etc., etc.

Even if you just used one car, you would have a different time for every run, based on the starting point.

Am I missing something????

Thanks in advance!
