relative quickness (of car, and slowness of mind?)

[auditude at neta.com]

I had a funny thought, or lack of it, the other day.

I took two people out in my 5kcstq, and I remember 
thinking how it seemed to be a little sluggish.  I 
wanted to show them how fast it is, but it seemed to be 
off it's pace.  Nothing was apparently wrong, it just 
seemed slower.  I didn't think too much into it until 
later.

It wasn't until the next day <duh> that I realized it 
was the weight of the passengers that was the 
difference, and my car was probably performing as well 
as usual.  I got a chuckle out of that when I realized 
it.

So, I'm thinking a measurement one could use as a goal 
for a performance or power upgrade, could be that the 
car ends up being as quick with a full load, as it was 
pre-upgrade with the driver only.  At least for me, it 
seems like that would be a nice goal to strive for. My 
car would be pretty quick, if it were as fast full as it 
currently is empty.

Just some thoughts to throw out there.

Later,

Ken
