Ford & Dodge should both be on board here, along with other high profile tracks to help us enthusiasts keep tabs.
I agree that manufacturers should get together and set a standard that could and are verified, such as they did with SAE Certification of horsepower/torque ratings. But other than that, any published numbers should not be taken too seriously.
