Plaid vs. Aventador

[Magnified]

Two things I was glad to see in this video:

1. A roll race - that Plaid doesn't run out of it..

2. A Plaid doing donuts - hahahahahaha, love it

That Plaid just goes. The Aventador trees him on the first race, but still gets reeled in.

I've been in a plaid, yes they are very fast and it's just stupid how effortless it seems in them. Tough to knock them. I mean they only look "ok" and the interior is also a little sub-par for the $140k+ price. But who are we kidding, going fast is the most important thing I would share some fun videos if I could easily post them here...

Clearly they are wicked fast, but still boring to look at & drive. I'd take the screaming Aventador all day over the Plaid (even the name is boring !).

 

[DGatzby]

Oh, Lambo all day. It is a real car. What do they call that other thing?

 

[Magnified]

Fast

 

[Magnified]

-er

 

[DGatzby]

Looking for a proper noun please.

 

[DGatzby]

Fast

-er

And your w r o n g ... 174< 220 mph electric loses.
Don’t confuse fast with quick.

 

[Magnified]

Faster is whoever crosses the finish line first

 

[Av8ing1]

I'll take one of each please. Plaid for the daily and Aventador for the weekends.

 

[Smitty]

Amazingly fast but boring as hell looking. Plaid. WTF kind if dumbass name is that for a car? Hard pass 👎

So, it’s simple physics! Right?

Speed, velocity and acceleration are all different. Yes, I am being technical, sorry. Fast describes speed, (that shirt, is not fast compared to a Lambo) quick describes acceleration. Okay, it is quick. Move any finish line and the object to “cross” it first gets there first because of acceleration. Lose the acceleration component that exists for a shirt at low speeds by moving the finish line a greater distance from the start, and the real car in your example will cross the finish line first, BECAUSE IT IS A FASTER CAR! A much FASTER car.

Think about it, the shirt will hit its peak speed at about 165, at that point the other real car continues to accelerate! It won’t reach its peak speed until well over 200mph. The greater speed at that point causes movement relative to the two different objects than the relatively short intervals shown in the video, with the real car gaining advantage.

Every drag racer pays attention to the speed at the end of say a 1000’ or 1340’ standard “race”, as that component is different than the time it took to accelerate to a point on the earth from another point, and indicates other info to the participant.
