It bears every relationship to the real world in in theory and practice. I don't however know many Fiesta ST's that will rev to 12 thousand or go at 220mph. That's the theoretical bit just incase you can't spot it.





To make it simple as you as you all are skipping the point.
As you pointed out your graph only takes into account gearing ratio's etc etc....
It discounts many aspects of the real world e.g. drag therefore, I say it again;
220MPH at 10.5K revs in 5th
Don't think so!
Or if you want to tone it down a little
160MPH at 8K revs in 5th
Don't think so!
So I ask again, why make the graph, when it discounts major parts of the real world. And don't say it is theoretical, it is not theoretical if it clearly won't happen in the real world. Drag is a real drag and slows ya down

p.s. Gravity does not exist in my Nan's house, how else do you explain her bad eyesight? eh?
