Specialist?
Wot, so you are going to get nice linear speed to RPM ratio's in real life are you?
The car will go at 220 mph at 10.5k revs in 5th? don't think so!
The car will go at 20 mph at 1k revs in 5th? Don't think so!
Maybe you should learn some basic physics, oh and learn not use the crappy default graph settings in excel.
Your graph is about as accurate as my Nan's eyesight!
The only thing "specialist" about this is maybe a "special" person who sits licking the window in a sunshine bus made it!
What's the matter? The 3 Billy Goats been trampling on your bridge a bit much??
Having known Hugh for the past 9 years, and having to have gone through University with him, there is no one more than me who enjoys to take the piss out of daft comments he comes out with....
However, I always ensure that if I do, then my argument is well structured and backed up by susbtantial evidence. If not, then the outcome is that I look like a twat, which is exactly what you've done here....
Now before you come back with some rant, I acknowledge there is the possibility you're right. If so, get some evidence and post it on here. The decent bloke that Hugh is, I know for a fact that in the face of evidence to prove he is wrong, he will admit the fact and 'stand corrected'..
What I suggest is you do the maths, post it on here and then we can discuss the matter amongst all of us. One of you is right and one of you is wrong, but for the time being, only one of you have produced something to back up your claim...
Oh and for the record, both Hugh and I have an honours degree in Engineering of which, I am sure you are aware, Maths is an integral part.....
Now run along now and be a nice chap and let those goats graze in the nice meadow.....
