Heck, I'd love to drive for absolutely series that'd take me.
As for dreams, I've drempt about driving the Civic around the streets, and once driving it alongside F1 cars on the track, and keeping up.
A Civic keeping up with an F1? Maybe in a freefall

Actualy I think a civic HB would pass a F1 in a free fall, its more compact, and the F1 is more spread out...

Laws of physics say they'll fall at the same rate...soo um...the Civic and F1 car are even...

assuming the only force affecting the fall of the cars is gravity, like in a vaccuum
but you have to take into account air resistance, cross sectional area of the car, mass, etc...

Drop a feather and a bowling ball from 3 feet or more if your heart so desires.... They'll land at the same time. Did you never watch Bill Nye the Science guy?

i hope to god youre joking
if we drop the objects in a vaccuum, where there is no air resistance, then yes they will fall at the same speed
and the bowling ball will hit the ground first, it has a higher terminal velocity and is affected less by air resistance
