Local Teen driver gets pulled over at 142

[SixVi6-Camaro]

The 500 hp motor will only get to 250 faster. The 50 hp motor will reach it eventually! A motor can never run out of power if you have ebough speeds or gears to hit that speed.

you are adding varriables to my example.. I said 2 IDENTICAL cars with the same exact gearing. the only difference is the engines. A 50 hp motor won't have the power to get to the same top speed as a 500hp. as speed increases the power required increases exponentially to work against the atmospheric drag.

Lets try another example.. 2 IDENTICAL 1/8 buggies.. 1 speed.. same gearing lets say 18/46 with unlimited space to run but one has a .15 and the other has a .28. the .15 will never be able to reach the same speed as a .28 because the .15 will not have the power to work against the atmospheric drag, parasitic drag form the driveline itself.
