...Useful number: 20 mph-per-second is ~1g.

So this thing can accelerate at 3g...

Back to math class for you.

100 mph in 6.29 seconds is only 15.89 mph/second. About 0.8 g.

Yeah, I was going to say less than 1G actual sustained off the top of my head. You can see accelerometer graphs in car magazines, or put a software version on your phone. Also, I think the latest Motor Trend has top fuel output at 11,000 hp (theoretical).
