Were can i get (on line) the 100 questions for the n.y. driving permit test?

There are a few things to consider with this question. Firstly, horsepower is effectively felt at higher speeds, since numerous vehicles make peak power near redline. What is felt from low speed acceleration is the torque of a car. However, more important than the power of the motor is the one behind the wheel. Also to consider are the driving characteristics of various automobiles. Ideally, in that weight range of cars, 200+ horsepower will suffice for some fun. Hope this helps!
