Pranav: I Thought you were the best person to answer this question?
Dad: I know it But..hmmmm
Pranav: Now i get it .. what you mean to say is you know about it but can't explain it to me.
Dad: Yes

Did he mean to quiz me about transmission loss ?

Pranav: Dad , Lamborghini has a Rear engine and the fastest BMW has a front engine. Do you why it is that way ?
Dad: Hmm Don't know
Pranav: Can i tell you ?

Pranav: Engine sends power to back wheels. The back wheels only push the car. So if the the engine is close to the wheel it can go faster. But i don't know how a BMW can also go fast ?
Dad: I don't know , i will check with my friend and let you know. <sigh> < wish  i had a little more geek in me to respond to that>
