Einsteinian physics are no replacement for Newtonian - they are in  
addition. And, you're right - they're absolutely useless unless you're  
an theoretical physicist, an astrophysicist, a nuclear physicist, or  
captain Kirk

Yes - Newton!

Not true. His formula works when you're trying to create a nuclear  
explosion. His formula applies to all situations, but is only  
measurable at high velocities. It is extreme physics - which admittedly  
is not much use in relation to souping up cars.

Unfortunately I'm not smart enough to explain this - but look here:

(http://www.btinternet.com/~j.doyle/SR/Emc2/ 
Derive.htm#An%20Apparent%20Increase%20in%20Mass%20due%20to%20Speed)

I'm sure that when (many years ago) a nerd taught me all about  
relativity on the back of a napkin in a pub on a Friday night - it all  
looked much more simple than the m=m0/(Square root of (1-v Squared / c  
squared)) you'll find on this page... But suffice to say - this  
equation is derived directly from e=mc2.

Let me assure you that you know a lot more about sciroccos than I do  
about special relativity
