#2Not sure I agree with the terminology of the article (fast rather than quickest accelerating), but I thought this quote was special:
> Speeds like this offer more Gs than Earth, so the rate of acceleration is faster than falling. It can feel difficult to support your head and shoulders if you don’t lean back on the headrest.

At 2.6-sh second mark your car accelerates with more than 9.8m/s^2 to get to 60.
But even lower accelerations will glue you to the seat because gravity acceleration affects every part of your body. Where as the car grabs you by the butt and yanks you forward.
So - I think he has probably some vague idea of Newtonian physics but just didn't manage to produce coherent sentence.

You need to tell "Power Overwhelming" to the car

How is more than one g accelleration possible?
There is one g making the friction between the tyre and the road.

but there is four tires!

The cars also gets pressed down by aerodynamics.

There's only one answer to that: the Lotus 78.

Because the coefficient of friction could be greater than 1. And the "sticking" force is proportional to the tire area. And the air pushes you down while you move.
As long as the torque is lower than friction you should be fine.
