11.26 - and now i'm addicted. Where are you guys shifting?

First shift just below redline, then 5.5-5.7 for most other gears - you get a faster start if you wait to press the accelerator till just on green rather than holding down or pressing early.

Edit - pulling 11's on a car that has a 6 grand redline means it prolly turbs - so need to be able to rev between shifts to maintain boost dammit! Wheres the boost guage???

And yeah...you should have checked the glovebox...just after I pulled out of your place on sat i put my magnet ///M's on :P

Vt= \sqrt{{2mg \over C_d \rho A}}

where

Vt is the terminal velocity,

m is the mass of the falling object,

g is gravitational acceleration,

Cd is the drag coefficient,

ρ is the density of the fluid the object is falling through, and

A is the object's cross-sectional area.

So I would need to know how high that cliff is to get the right measurments of the density of the air from that alitude - and also I would have to assume that the car falls in one positon as not to screw up the drag coefficient.

Sounds like a project for a rainy day.
