So why post about the results of a subjective test done on a US highway? Got a link to your ADR standard? Or maybe you want to pick an 8 mile stretch of Australian highway and say THAT represents ALL of the countries roads? What elevation, grade, speed limit, number of lanes, curves, etc. Maybe that section is even on Google Maps.
My point is why would you consider the results of a subjective test on an 8 mile section of road as representative of the entire countries roads? Or what those test results imply about performance in general?
Subjective values do not a standard make A mile or kilometre does not become longer because it is hotter. That is why the US standard is rejected outright here and anywhere else outside the US.
Standard and subjective values should not be in the same sentence.
A foot is a foot a mile is a mile.a kilometre
Is a kilometre. How a vehicle tows on a certain day depends on many factors.which rarely can be repeated after that
" US Standard" is an indicator too buyers how a vehicle might perform.
Excellent, you have just discredited your own statements and position. Apparently the “ADR standard” is fictitious and/or has no pass/fail criteria. Again, maybe you have a link to it? But, any pass/fail criteria for that "standard" would be invalid to apply to the results of a test done on totally different road conditions that do not exist in Australia. And it is also invalid to use the results of a single 8 mile test to represent typical performance across all the roads of any individual continent. The Ike Gauntlet is not a US standard so there is nothing to be rejected.
