Umm maybe because 0-100 MPH times are published, and simple. I could have used 31.4159 MPH would that have made you feel better?
Oh.... and becasue the results would be the same! Spinning up the driveshaft consumes .28 horsepower regardless of what top speed you are shooting for! (as long as we are at max acceleration)

The only time I mentioned "drag racing" was in response to the person who was talking about burnouts and (incorrectly) about sprung vs unsprung weight.

Well... you are as well. What does that mean?

Ok, so 0-100 MPH acceleration is a "inane" example?
Hmm... that's pretty much a standard metric in ALL performance automobile evaluations. I guess all those engineers who evaluate cars are stupid too.

Why didnt YOU try to disprove these ramblings before posting them (might have saved you some typing).
WHY would I first start out to disprove a FACT? when I KNOW it to be a fact?
WHY dont YOU try to prove that the moon doesnt exist?

Drive on a cold day and make more power than that $300 intake. Science! One nerd to rule them all! Nanu nanu!

You are seriously disturbed.
Instead of comparing removing 15 lbs from the driveshaft to removing 15 pounds from someplace like.... the spare tire (something MOST of us do at the track ANYWAY!)
I guess now I'll go compare shedding 15 pounds from the driveshaft to removing two pink flamingos from my yard.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!
Actually after typing all of this, it is clear that you are just trolling to get in on the action. Jealous? Need a hug?
