Wedgeduck, nice and funny as I just got off the phone with my cousin in Newport Beach. Wife and I will be there in a few months and would be great to meet up! Will PM you dates/contact info. And yes, saw the new 2013 models at the dealership last week and they indeed look very enticing!

About 3 miles to wind up to 200. Depending on the tuning in your vehicle. They can get to about 150 ish in a mile., but why 2 more miles to get up to 200? I don't understand

it's been a long year for me. But so fun. I get to watch history in the making and the GT3 at the LA Auto Show. That car is so sexy!

"The resistance in rowing is due to the drag of the water moving over the hull of the boat. By the laws of hydrodynamics, this resistance/drag varies to the cube of the velocity/speed. The rule of cubes therefore dictates that a doubling of the speed of the boat will require an eight-fold increase in resistance."
If you need to know anything else, just let me know.

It is the rule of cubes. It is the same for boats in water. This is an example for rowing:
"The resistance in rowing is due to the drag of the water moving over the hull of the boat. By the laws of hydrodynamics, this resistance/drag varies to the cube of the velocity/speed. The rule of cubes therefore dictates that a doubling of the speed of the boat will require an eight-fold increase in resistance."
