This all reminds me of the first time I took Taylor to see them. It was the Night Under Fire at Norwalk so their were many of the same cars she's seen day in and day out just about every day of her life.

Understandably, she was getting bored.

Just after she told me she was getting bored, Force and Height made a burn out. Her face was

"still bored?" I asked

Another time Hillary Will was at the Norwalk CCE race making some 1/8th mile test passes. Taylor was at the very top of the grand stands and said she made the whole stands shake.

Well. lets try to attach some real numbers to the question, with a few assumptions thrown in.

Say A TF produces 6,000hp.

Assume 33% efficiency, 1/3 hp/work, 1/3 Heat, and 1/3 acoustic energy.

1 Hp equals 754? acoustic watts.

A Very high grade Pro Sound system might approach 30% output efficiency, means you put in 100 Watts RMs, you only get 30 acoustic wattss output.

A high end home stereo might aprroach 10%, typically they are 1-4%.

Therefore your home stereo would need RMS watts to reproduce a TF:

6000(HP)x 754 / .04= 113,100,000 Watts

Your neighbors would likely complain


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I think your about 2000 HP low on your estimate so we can add to your wattage figure.


Take care,
