I just thought I'd mention that the power required to move any car at a
particular speed typically goes up at a greater than linear rate. I.e. you
need a lot more than twice the power to move a vehicle twice the speed. I
think the power requirements go up with the square of the speed, but I'm
not positive. Maybe someone who knows something about fluid dynamics could
tell us?
