LOL, this truly a great argument! Really though we are looking at the tech data, therefore making theoretical assumption's on that, this means we are not taking real world effect's such as areodynamic drag, 'gravity' etc! Therefore I believe that chart shown on the first page!

Hugh is angry for the first time ever!

Frustrated, and sadly that is the aim I fear. Such blatent ignorance can only mean that the aim is to annoy, that is why I am now closing this thread.

Just for the record for everyone reading this thread and wondering, what I have stated is true. The relationship between RPM & Speed through a fixed ratio transmission (with a healthy clutch!) is 100% linear.

Just to be certain (as I like to ensure that I'm not being stupid, thanks Craig ) I have double checked with a Formula 1 Calibration Engineer friend of mine and two design engineers at work today whose sole purpose it is to R&D gearboxes. One of them was instrumental in the creation of the new Infinitely Variable Transmission technology currently being developed.

I have shown them this thread and they all concurr with what I have said.
