I think that what DG is looking for in his physics question is the answer to
the following question.
He lines his Talon up next to a Neon at the Florida Prosolo in February.
His Talon weighs a lot more than the SM Neon does, but has superior launch
characterics due to the awd. He wants to know how much deeper the Neon can
go before braking, assuming both cars are limited to 225 width tires of a
similar compound, they were side-by-side and accelerating at the same rate
just prior to reaching the braking point for the Talon, and Daddio (alien
and alien clone)is driving both cars. Assume the velocity at the Talon
braking point is 50 mph and the actual turn-in point is that same for both
cars. With turn-in points being different for these two cars, what would
the total damage to Dennis's ego be after say, six or seven turns?
Just stirrin' the pot,
Dale
