Hmmm, that's interesting. OK, here's a questions: How much torque, at what RPM, with what overall gearing and tire rolling radius would one need to make a car with a CD of 0.6, and a frontal area of 0.5 m^2 go 150 MPH in air with a density of 1.2 kg/m^3? And since power doesn't matter, can it be done with less than 72 hp (without a tailwind or going downhill)?
