That's 58.6667 yards/sec ----

So.. Think of how much energy you're carrying with you in a 3860 lb car at those speeds..

Why think, just calculate it. 25.192 KJ of energy. So, if that was used over one second, that would be 25.192 KW of power.

help me with this one moderators...

this is a performance car forum. It's okay for people on performance car forums to talk about carving up canyons. It's okay for people to talk about going 150mph (and clearly a lot of it was not on the track). But it's not okay to talk about spirited acceleration at the lights (where tires do not lose traction)?

I'm sensing some irrational bias here. But hey - who am I to judge - maybe someone can explain what appears to be illogical to me?
