[1] if 'on' means willing to chip in $25, then we have $100 so far.

[2] Analogously... since I have degrees from both UO & OSU, I cannot lose in the civil war....

[3] I examine two equations quations (I recognize that X-ech does not like them) for hp required to overcome drag. They predict that about 165 to 170 hp will be required to overcome the drag of a 911 at 165 mph. 1st, that is hp at the rear wheels, and 2nd, one would have to add on about 8-10 hp for rolling resistance. So you'd need a fair amount of engine power, more than the motor, as advertised, would have - but not by a lot. The motor apparently is hot-rodded so 165 could thus be a question of gearing. I do not know whether these equations are semi-empirical or not. Surely they cannot be derived from first principles, since the general equations for fluid flow have never been analytically solved.
