I like your last sentence! I would add intermittent contact for high speed
lsr.B 

Which would shoot an arrow the farthest, a compound or a single draw bow, with
the same guy pulling the string? Its my way of understanding torque and
horsepower. I think the single draw=rear wheel HP

Jack I think I understand what you are saying. In my work with sporty type
cars we really don't care about terminal speed but the best average speed.
So if more downforce costs 5 mph terminal but cuts.3 secords off a lap time
a real win. That is the venue traction control works well low speed no
downforce with lots of torque in the lower gears. Best terminal speed for me
has always had 5 or 6% slip a little bit of slip and tread deformation is
good for bite. Dave
