And for what its worth, Dreamer, I couldnt agree with you more.

Furthermore, look at the pic of the car at 185 and 190..... Supposedly they were blurry because of shake in the car. Hmmmm....that would be a function of shutter speed which had to be quite slow for the pics to be so blurry or focus. But since they are so blurry inside....please explain to me why the green foliage outside the windshield is blurry from depth of field and not from motion or focus.

The landscape tends to move by at 265 fps at 185MPH. Assuming a 1/30 shutter speed necessary to produce an interior gauge blur - that would be 8 feet of movement during the exposure. Look at the pic and see if you see ANY lateral movement. That's an interesting observation isn't it?

And one other thing. I do believe Avanti 176's text book was dead nuts correct in the ratios of power increases with regard to drag and thrust. Physical laws are just that....laws. Please be so kind as to plot the speed and RPM points of the M5 depicted in the various pics on a graph. I think you will find them virtually linear. And that 'taint possible, McGee. Remember that "asymptotic" word? I guess atmospheric pressure, horsepower, rev limits, gearing, and drag coefficients don't apply to German sedans on the Internet. Pi anyone?

Up to 150 I'm with you.... At 170 I'm getting really dubious. At "185 and 190".....sorry but my laptop screen is getting blurry as I can't see it thought the tears I'm laughing so hard. Bwaahhhhhhhh Hawwwwwwww Hawwwwwwwww. Snerk, Snerk.....

If this car was going 190 it was either going down one steep incline or it fell out of the C-130 and they photographed the rate of descent gauge.
