yea so i was going to a local sports pub (winghouse) with some friends and they were in a different car and my brother was on his buell motorcycle, so naturally i was driving like a jack ass. anyways, im going down the road, doin about 60 in a 45 when i see a new mustang in my rearview mirror, he keeps inches up then he floors it and gets a head start so i floor it and at first he barely gets in front of me then i catch up and pass him. i win. then he does that same crap again with getting a head start and passing me, but this time he waived like he beat me, so i catch up, again and go past him.
this proves my theory that lots of people suck, and know little about the correlation between distance, acceleration, time and velocity. they think they beat you when in reality they didnt.
if you have to cars spaced 100 feet apart (one 100 ft in front of the other) and they both start from 50 mph and the first car reaches 100 miles per hour and the other is still 100 ft behind him, then the car in the rear is faster. WHY? because a car travels more distance at higher speeds in a certain time than at slower speeds. so lets say instead of 100 ft, we say 5 seconds behind him, at 100 mph it wont be 5 seconds to travel 100 ft, it will be 2.5 seconds. so the car in the rear is fast yet it appears to a moron or a mustang driver that the car in the rear isnt as fast because it is still behind.
from a stand still i wouldve raped him anyway, our cars are more torquey than high powered at high rpms.
