all to do with the frontal area, or lack of it. and a bloody long runway!!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

still find it hard to understand that the equiv power of a 1.4 16 valve petrol motor could propel anything at 300mph.....

theres probably an equation to work out what drag coefficient you would need.
power = force x speed
so approx 100kw = force x 450kph
units should probably be metres per second.
then link the force to a coefficient.
100000=F x 125
F = 800 newtons at a guess.
so basically a 100kw motor would only have 800 newtons left for acceleration at 450kph, hence to get there the drag force would need to be lower than
800newtons
