I don't think Chevy knows how gravity works...
 0.4 seconds after that Sonic is dropped out of that plane it's going a measly 8.77 mph... which is not 60 mph by a long shot (1).... Hell, it'd take at least 2.735 seconds to do 0-60. (End nerd rant.) __________________ 1 Gravity Calculations - Earth

 Anyway, i was hoping the chute wouldn't open... and that they dropped it over a Chrysler Dealership. Great link on gravity. On a side note, if you dropped it from 1320ft (1/4 mile) it would be a 9 second car. |

guys... when it gets dropped out of the airplane, it's going as fast as the airplane. Right?

I'm pretty sure that they were implying that in free-fall it'd vertically be going 60mph in 0.4 seconds... ...and if that's the case, they are wrong...

In any case it is the typical BS associated with Government Motors...

.. and drag. From release point to impact point is called a trajectory, as drag and gravity act on the object. Personally, I like the idea of watching a Chev end its life in such a manner.
