That must be the case, then. Like I said, I'm going on what other (potentially less than credible) people are telling me. I assumed that the dyno test was an actual chassis dyno test, that would be testing vehicle speed. I know that there are emissions tests which are supposed to test emissions at speed (under load) because emissions change under load compared to just being at speed with no load.

Also, Carlos' post suggests [they used 2nd and 3rd gears, but not 5th] that they did require a vehicle speed/RPM test.
