D'Ecosse,

When it comes to "faster" and "quicker" I don't believe there's any universally accepted definition, but I would agree with your terms.

If one car is faster than another...to me that would mean that one car went 160 MPH and the other went 140 MPH.

For me, "quicker" implies acceleration...or how fast my speedometer needle is moving, or how my accelerometer is reacting.

This is a topic where there's a lot of non-intuitive things going on. Time vs distance vs acceleration vs speed... and it's not always easy to grasp. Subtle things like why is it that the car with the fastest trap time at the drag strip doesn't always turn the best time for example.
