My point exactly - even the previously somewhat safe stoplight gran prix is not safe, at a minimum you are betting with your license. So where are you going to achieve these results and what are you using them for? My data is strictly for my own use; but, I can sort of compare it to published data and whether I purposefully record it or not, my data acquisition always records it. But even so, the data in the same car, in approximately the same weather conditions does not produce the same results. As an added downside to collecting 0-60 data and comparing it to magazine x is that few things can be harder on the drive train then standing starts and the grippier the surface the more wear.
