I agree with everything Shawn wrote, except the above.  The UT SAE cars as run
at Nationals sure seemed to have plenty of acceleration!   Where SAE cars
don't match current AM cars is the lack of wings and that is what the extra HP
of a fully prepared AM car is used for.  If current AM cars didn't have wings,
then they'd only need 100 HP instead of 200+.
