Nice quote on the website about the 100-200 mph accel time, measured on the dyno!

100-200mph on a dyno is pretty meaningless

Does not say that at all

This is what it says: "This car made the 100-200mph in - gear dash in 8.7 secs."

What is wrong about it is that it is kmh not mph.

A dyno accel figure is more meaningless than a meaningless thing - it bears virtually no resemblance to real-world performance.

Fair point if it's kph and not mph. I did struggle with an M5 speedo ever reading 200mph on anything other than a rolling road.
