distance
Darin,my thoughts are that if the car had been tested from some initial velocity,to a lower velocity,or stop,that you might have seen a greater spread in the data.Evidently,the starting force,which must be overcome just to get a car moving is remarkably high,compared to once its rolling.This is a reason for the traffic light synchronization,as "stops" eat a lot of energy.---------------- I think this effect is cutting into your numbers,although I realize the added complexity and variability of the coast-down.My suspicion is that your RR performance is actually much better than the numbers reflect.Your test does reflect a measurable effect so I say it's useful to all,kudos to you and !muchas gracias!,Phil.
