That doesnât always apply, of course, since the two Presidentâs who presided over the ill-advised war in Vietnam both served in the military during World War II, and that didnât seem to prevent either Richard Nixon or Lyndon Johnson from making decision about the war that seem to be quite foolhardy in retrospect.
A modern F1 car can accelerate to 62 mph in less than two seconds, pull more Gs than a Space Shuttle launch, and hit a top speed over 200 MPH in qualifying.t first glance, this sounds a lot like a smaller version of the V8 you could find in many carsâ until you realize that F1 engines routinely rev up to 18,000 RPM. Thanks to all those revs, they produce about 300 HP/L for a total output of around 750 HP or more.
The top average speed for a NASCAR race is 210 mph, and for F1 itâs even higher, at 257 mph. Know how scary it is to go 100? Imagine that at twice the speed, with a bunch of cars inches away doing to exact same thing. Most passenger cars canât even go half as fast as an F1 car. The differences between road cars and race cars are legion, and this only begins to brush the surface of the topic. But if there are two main factors that separate the two, it is vehicle weight and engine output.
