Has anyone ever done any testing for FATS times with their car? I'm hearing from some audi guys that this is how they measure how quick one car is vs another (to take out driver interaction, etc in quartermile times and whatnot).
What this is is a time measurement. You measure how long it takes your car to to accellerate in third gear from 4200-6500rpms. 7.0 is slow, 5.0 is fun, 3.2 is quick. I imagine (for some bigger turbo guys) this could be expanded to do a 3rd gear run on a evo/dsm from say 5000-7300rpms (i.e. a 2300rpm sweep).
Any interrest/history in this? These audi guys are crazy for it, I thought it'd be cool to setup a website that anyone could post up their car make/model/mods and fats times.
Here's an example site (audi punks):
