40-70 times in 2nd gear??

I've been reading some old threads of the 40-70 3rd gear tests and some of the CarTest 2000 figures of different cars but they are using 2nd gear to reach those ridiculous times. I tried mine tonight and this isn't the greatest test since redline is around 70 mph at 8K. I did a rolling 35 and hit the timer at 40 and came up with 2.3 seconds when I bounced off the rev limiter (lightweight flywheel sure speeds the revs up ) - Anyway I was pretty pleased since I still am down hp with my half-assed primary turbo. I think a 30-60 2nd gear run would be interesting or a 60-90 3rd gear run. This would be an interesting way to see how our different FDs with different mods perform compared to one another. Just an idea.

different speeds/gears would be a great way to test turbos against each other. Might get confusing though.

is it just me or does everyones car sort of "rumble/shake" when it hits redline? it seems like a loss of power but still 10lbs...i tried both the 40-70 and 60-90 tests, but i coudlnt get the timer to stop fast enough, lol. ill go out and try tomorrow and post what i get.
