In fact, the smaller the lizard,
the higher the peak acceleration, relative power, and distance of tongue extension were relative to body size.
Shorter ratios would mean
higher peak acceleration in each gear, though probably not a faster GT4.
Not exact matches
For example, when comparing constant load (free weight) and constant resistance (pneumatic machine) bench presses, the constant resistance bench presses involve
higher peak velocities, because they allow greater
acceleration at the start of the movement (Frost et al. 2008).
Acceleration is always
high at the start of the movement, zero when the barbell reaches
peak velocity, and negative at the end of the movement.
Meanwhile, a twin - scroll turbo ensures that the boost spools up at low rpm and then carries through to
peak rpm, variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust cams swells the power curve down low, and direct fuel injection makes possible a relatively
high 10.0:1 compression ratio that helps deliver crisp
acceleration.
From a stop the 3.7 L V6 generates linear
acceleration, but its
peak power doesn't kick in until
high in the rev range with
peak torque coming online at 5,200 rpm and the last bit of horsepower at 7,000 rpm.
Peak power is developed relatively
high in the rev range, with 221 horsepower at 6,250 rpm, nearly at the 6,650 redline, and 205 pound - feet of torque at 4,800 rpm, so it has to work hard for maximum
acceleration, as when merging into fast highway traffic.
As it hits its torque
peak it gives the sensation a surge will occur, but instead it plateaus, and at
high revs through the gears, there's a momentary lapse in
acceleration, the turbo falling off the boil.
Thanks to its short gearing the ST's mid 6 - second 0 - 60 mph time means that its arch nemesis, the Golf GTI, is initially quicker off the line but the ST has
higher peak power figures and remains a fast car, in - gear
acceleration is especially strong.
At this
acceleration rate the sea level will
peak in 2025 at an average level of 40 mm
higher than it was in 2000.
