Dear Randall,

Has your maximum speed dropped?   Ever since I was a kid, and first 
learnt about jets and rockets, I have always had a sneaking suspicion 
that a car whose exhaust points straight back will go just that little 
bit faster than one where the tail pipe points at the ground (or off to 
one side)... <g>
