We are stille way behind. All that knowledge has been forgotten with cheap oil. |
I got up to 125MPH with 90 HP in my Honda Civic. Granted, I was on a highway going in the same direction as traffic, taking advantage of the tunnel effect, and it took forever to get there, but that's not the point. I'm not sure we're really that far behind, if you consider that a goal.
