I know somebody that can make a car accelerate better than anyone else I know, which means that there is more to acceleration than powershifting within the powerrange (which we are all familiar with)
What has puzzled me for a long time is which method of depressing the gas is the most efficient one... lets assume we stay in the same gear ( to make the example easier) Most people think that pressing the pedal to the metal results in the best acceleration, however its too obvious and everybody does it so it can't be that. One could just gradually depress the gas and get the same result (i think) what seems to be faster than that is depressing the gas about 1/3 then letting go completly, then quickly pressing up to 1/3 and from there gradually press the gas until it reaches the floor 3/3 this seems to be slightly faster than the other two.
Does anybody have any experience, advice or an answer to this?? Does anybody else do something similar???
