On a level test track, a car with anti locks brakes and 90% braking efficiency is determined to have a theoretical stopping distance (ignoring aerodynamic resistance) of 408-ft (after the brakes are applied) from 100-mi/h. The car is rear-wheel drive with a 110-inch wheel base, weighs 3200-lb, and has a 50/50 weight distribution (front to back), a center of gravity that is 22-inches above the road surface, an engine that generates 300-ft lb of torque, an overall gear reduction of 8.5 to 1 (in first gear), a wheel radius of 15-inches and a driveline efficiency of 95%. What is the maximum acceleration from rest of this car on this test track?
