So if you want a video of a 1/10th car to look like a video of a 1/1 car, the speed and acceleration looks 10 times faster, why not slow the video down by 10? Why would you slow it down by the root of 10?
Because real cars don't do 300 mph. This is my whole point - the speed doesn't scale like that. A 1/10th buggy doing 30 mph looks like it's going faster than a Formula One car or a Bugatti Veyron, which is just wrong for an off-road car.

Ah well - like Dunc said, would someone please do a video at ~1/3 speed?
