At 283 it takes 25 seconds to go 2 miles. So I think it’s pretty safe to assume it took around a minute since it does take time to get to that speed but I assume it gets over 100 in under 10 seconds considering that’s not super difficult for a sports car to achieve
These vehicles are extremely high geared (numerically “low”) to reach those insane speeds. They need lots of power and vehicles to push them off the starting line and even then it takes time to get up to that speed. Dragsters get up to speed quickly but only run 1/8th or 1/4 mile. These cars would be on the opposite end of that spectrum.
I don’t know how to do the correct math for acceleration, but I can see that at that top speed 2 miles is ~25.4 seconds, so that’s the minimum. So intuitively I’d guess around 1 minute
2 miles into the run and they were going 283 mph?
Surely that’s mere seconds, if that?
