You can make an approximation by guessing at the acceleration rates but that's about all.
but what difference would it make, i got to that distance by 60mph,
to play devils'advocate - what if my 1st gear took 3seconds to reach optimum, then 2nd shot me the rest of the way to 60 through an amazing boost, and a strong gust of wind...
what im saying is, despite gear ratio and gear eccelreation, i still get to 60 in that distance? i dont need to know my optimum speed and torque amounts?
