30-70 mph times
Discussion
Some interesting data on this link:

No idea how accurately it was timed, but assuming they were all done the same way it's an interesting comparison of 0-100/0-200 (kph) and I guess you could work out by subtraction an approximate 30-70 for comparison.

Some quite detailed info in that link. There is this large compilation of 40-80mph here aswell https://imgur.com/gallery/d0nf4MI

which has a more USA biased list of cars and I thought 30-70mph would be more socially acceptable if people wanted to submit their own times.
30 to 70 was a measure of flexibility if done in one gear, and real world performance if done through the gears
Its still valid but in the past most cars weren't very fast, a sort of sensible performance metric that replicates joining a motorway and having enough pace to get up to speed.
Its probably a little redundant for performance cars as they all tend to have more than adequate performance than it required in that increment for most situations.
Can you imagine showing a Tesla doing it in a second a bit to someone back in the seventies testing a Triumph Toledo, Austin 1100 or even say a Jensen Interceptor which was a high performance marvel that took 5 seconds or so ?

Yeh, I see what you are saying. I was hoping that as PH still covers a fairly wide range of interesting cars it could be nice to get a bit of conversation going over technical aspects like gearing, power/weight and why seemingly similar car achieve different times but I guess all the figures are searchable now and what with cars all being so stronk now it is less relevant.

100 - 200 is the one to show the differences between properly fast cars.
