it had an identical engine to the current lunar module.

He knew when he had run faster than 4 seconds in the quarter mile, because his ears would bleed.
This is why that sort of racing was outlawed, because of the blackouts caused due to the g-forces.

top fuellers go from 0 - 100mph in about 1 sec.

My one and a half tonne Plymouth Duster in full street trim (inc nos), would accelerate from 0 - 60 in less than 4seconds (which wasnt that fast in drag racing circles) - back in the late 80's - and then I modified it to track only.
