it is also worth pointing out because we are thinking of the car comparison… but cheetah’s only spend a very brief time anywhere close to their top speed (usually under 30 seconds). A cheetah attack is over one way or the other in seconds, and a cheetah would almost die of heat stroke if it sprinted for a full minute.
IIRC one of the big evolutionary advantages of Homo Sapiens as a predator at least was stamina - or our ability to run for comparatively long periods of time.
