How did the Ford GT with 1700 hp by PPR reach 453 kph in one mile, if Agera RS, with only 360 hp less, needed 4 miles to reach 457 kph?

Gearing, most likely. Final drive gear ratio probably different.
It is all in the torque! While top speed is a function of horsepower, how fast a car can get there's determined by torque. But 360 HP less is a big chunk of HP. That is 20% less horse power and it took four times as long.
- A newer car with more miles or an older car with less mileage? I have a 1995 honda civic ex coupe with 176,800 miles on it. It's been leased the first few years then my friend drove it until now some city driving some not, I've also put $2000 into it; new radiator, new belts, axle fixed etc. A client then gave me a 2001 ford ranger with 198,000 miles on it. I believe it hasn't had much city driving and it's also had two owners. I think both have gotten into very minor accidents. What car do I keep?
- Is this a dodge 318ci or 360? There's an '85 dodge ram prospector 2wd for sale an the owner says it got a 360 in it but to be this looks like a 318… I'm a ford guy. I know a lot about big block FE's but not dodges. In the picture it looks like a small block but I'm not sure.
- Why do american speedometers feature kph (kilometers per hour) on the inside and mph (miles per hour) on the outside? Here's a stock photo of a ford fiesta gauge cluster. Isn't 1 km longer than 1 mile? Therefore, it would make more sense to put km outside and miles inside, right?
