Hi,

Just interested to know if when the motoring press quote a ''30-50 time in 3rd gear'' is this time taken as follows ..

Car at constant 30 in the chosen gear, floor the throttle and time until you hit 50 ...

or

is the time based on when the car passes the two speeds (30 and 50) in the chosen gear with the car already at full tilt?

I assume the first ...
