Evo Can Do Science, Me
Warning: this thread contains high school science 
Today at my high school the Conceptual Physics class did a little project today.
The students needed to figure out a few different problems. I.e. speed v. distance & time, constant acceleration, etc. Well, its a small campus. Everyone knows my car. The teacher of that class asked his students whether they would like to use a bicycle or my car. Duh - car I just so happened to have that block free also. Did the runs and had the students totally engaged. Bet you didn't think high school science could be this cool, huh?
Monday, Ill post up their findings when they have to turn in all in.
2 runs from the 7 that I did:

These were 2 of the 3 150ft runs. I was rolling in at 5mph then toping out at 53-54 mph at the end of the run. From what I was hearing, in the 100ft runs, rolling in at the first cone at 5mph, I was covering the distance in 1.5-1.7s. In the 150ft runs it was around 2.3-2.5s.

Its about all the kids are talking about right now.
Some data from that classes teacher:
--100ft test: ave speed of 36-38 mph
--150ft test: ave speed of 44-46mph
--accel rate: 20-23 mph per second

The students didn't think it was going to be THAT loud 
Some later figured out that my car is faster than a lot of cars costing 100k+.
As a side, its really really nice to be able to quick shift 1-2 again. Ah, the sound of crisp, clean, quick shifts.
