Tell him MOPARS don't spot Fords, or Chevys. The half century and zillons of dollars in R & D from the aftermarket community, negates any and all rights to an advantage.....no matter the combinations. Tell him if he was to race Allen Johnson, it is HE that would have to give Johnson 3 cars, the break and the clear. No lowly MOPAR can ever hope to keep pace with the entire aftermarket racing community that develops technology for brand Xers at a geometric pace. As a matter of fact, tell him you want compensation in the form of dead presidents just for requesting an acceleration contest. The nerve of some people!!!

The guy asked a simple question...How many car lengths would a full second be?" He DIDNT say that the guy was asking for ANY car lengths,just asked a question....PERIOD.

EDIT: He was asking about lengths for a reason. 
He still didnt ask if the guy wanted lengths or he wanted lengths. Just asked how many lengths in a full second  My answer is roughly 10.

Would that not depend on quick the car is? some cars can go farther in a second then others, reaction time also would make a difference. travel more distance per second at the end of the run then the start of the run. Variables for each car I would think, but sometimes I over think and miss the obvious simple answer.

Reaction time has no place in the assumption. There are some knowns here. It's not like pulling a number out of thin air and saying a super comp car vs bicycle. Not many answers in this thread, that's for sure.
