Unless you have an airport runway nearby, it's a rather dangerous test.
No, not jesting. Actually, one exit on the parkway or the luxury of the beach road on a weekday was a frequent and easy way to get 'load'.
Did it weekly on the Connecting Highway or 231 as a callow (but talented) youth.
Certainly the dragstrip or autox course is more ideal. Hell, Bruce in 3170 gets that in first gear but I'm sure he does not have nancy vacuum secondaries...
