This is VERY interesting and something that I plan to try on my 08 Nissan Alitam Hybrid (with a CVT).
But, I'm not sure I understand your math. If my car is rated at 7.6s for 0-60mph, how do I convert that to a 25% value that I can monitor?
EDIT: Are you saying that my max is ~8mph/s (60mph / 7.6s), therefore I should accelerate at 2mph/s? So, 0-40mph in about 20s?
Thanks!
