Interesting short read: http://www.revotechnik.com/support/technical/rolling-roads-explained

 

So basically peak figures are just pub talk and as I have always advocated how a car drives on the road is more important.

 

There are so many variables it is near impossible to repeat accurately power runs from one day to another, let alone from two identical cars at the same time and this is those big tuning companies using high end expensive kit that try and address the short comings in rolling road shoot out days, it is no wonder low end cheap systems with basic set ups are pretty much a waste of time, be careful guys most of the print outs seems to be made of snake oil....

A great article Jeff, and should hopefully make users more cautious about handing their cars over to perhaps poorly trained mobile operators that frequent car shows.
