Re: Accelerating differences

[ QUOTE ]
You have more momentum when climing up to and past 65 mph on your way to 90 mph than you do when your cruising at 65 mph and then floor it to get to 90 mph. I think that makes sense. When you coming from a stand still and you hit 65 mph you have alot of momentum built up so you can easily keep on going up to 90 mph.

This doesn't make physical sense. Momentum will not help you accelerate. The difference should be entirely due to engine revs and turbo already being spooled up accelerating "through" 65 rather than from a 65 mph roll.
