The scaling of the apparent angular diameter of galaxies with redshift θ(z) is a powerful discriminator of cosmological models. In this paper we argue that the rotational velocity of distant galaxies, when interpreted as size indicator, may be used as an interesting tool to select high redshift standard rods. Upcoming deep redshift surveys will allow an implementation of this classical geometrical test to measure directly the amplitude of the cosmological constant Λ, or to constrain the cosmic equation of state parameter for a smooth dark energy component (w = p/ρ, —1 ≤ w < 0).
