Looks similar to your car....

They way I see it...the more other fools on the Dragon the less chance we get pulled over for doing 40 in a 30 zone.
now that's a great way to look at it!

Actually if they were dropped from a plane from 35,000 feet, they both would go the same speed!

That's not true. You would have a head start as we might push you harder.

Not sure thats true while every thing accelerates at the same speed when dropped, I would like to think the drag coeffiecent of the S is a little lower - hence it beats the Fiat to the ground,......... and no, I am not volunteering my car for a real world test - I suggest we use Raul's car. He's too busy to drive it anyway!
