But accelerating from 80-105mph has nothing to do with skill. You just push the gas pedal down and drive in straight line. With many sports cars, there is no shifting required within those speeds. His straight line speed should be less on the straightaway even if he exited the corner and entered the straightaway at a higher speed.
