I wonder how much force it takes to compress a football to that point? Estimates please...

I don't know about how much force, but in high school I could kick a soccer ball from set over 70mph, faster if I kicked while it was rolling towards me...I can't even imagine how hard the pros kick it.

And a soccer ball weighs 14-16 oz.

Is it 1/2*m*v^2 for energy?

God I'm getting old. But I could answer that if I was sober...

This guy is building a 1/6 scale running Duesenburg, he has made every part including the bolts and nuts, take a look at the web page to see the other photos. Simply amazing.

Could upset a gruppe B meeting with this!!

This is not only the most powerful car that Audi has ever built for the road, and the most powerful production estate in the world, it also joins a highly select group of cars of any sort which can boast that many horses. We’re talking Ferrari 599 and Pagani Zonda F, Bentley GT Speed and Lamborghini Murciélago, Mercedes-Benz SLR and, of course, Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG (and its CL and SL cousins). Only AMG Mercedes can touch Audi for ‘subtle and restrained’ supercar status; but the most powerful AMG estate is more than 60bhp down on the RS 6.

This is not a raw sports machine for occasional driving but a true, everyday supercar. The cabin is relatively quiet, that awesome engine a deep, distant growl, although a colleague, driving behind in an A3 Cabriolet, said the noise of our RS 6 in kickdown was overwhelming. Meanwhile, in-car comfort is exceptional, with heated leather RS sports seats (the rear seats are heated, too), paddleshift gear selection and all the mod-cons you’d expect in a leading-edge luxury supercar. If you’re heading home long-distance after an exhausting week’s work, the RS 6 will cosset and comfort. But when you reach a stretch of open road, horns will no doubt sprout, and this supercar-estate will take you seamlessly to another level of driving pleasure.

At over two tonnes, the RS 6 is no featherweight and, under acceleration, its 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds is identical to the E63 AMG. The Audi, however, wins on fuel consumption (20.2mph combined) and emissions (333g/km); and now other superlatives come crashing in, thick and fast. This is not only the world’s most powerful and torquiest production estate car, it is also the most economical in its class, with the lowest CO2 emissions.

Soccer ball in the face pic^^^
Been there, done that, only it was a rugby ball.
Wet, rainy, muddy day and I took the ball right in the face, knocked me onto my back and I'll tell ya, it hurt. It was the only time I can remember laying on the ground for a minute to get a little recovery time

This pic is gonna get Byron excited........
