user variable coast-down speeds?

How difficult would it be to adjust the coast-down equations to consider a range of user-variable coast-down speeds? Say, increasing the starting speed from 20 to 25 (or even 30) and allowing the ending speed to go from 8 to 6 or some such?

It seems to be the consensus that a wider speed range on the coast-downs would produce more accurate results (???) Would this be possible in the next few iterations of fw releases?

I was a beta tester for a coastdown from 25 or to 6. It did not produce better, more accurate or more consistent results.

Good to know.

If you're talking about mph then I'd run out of road before I get to 30mph and then coast down! It's hard enough to find a decent straight quiet stretch for a 32kph (20mph) costdown around here.
