If go faster stripes worked, badgers would be the fastest animal on earth

Good workout at the gym, despite skiving off for over a week, beat my record on the ol' cycle machine and feeling good for it.
Yay me.

No they wouldn't, they'd just have fast heads.

Now, chipmunks have whole body go-faster stripes, and they work, so ner :p

But badgers heads are bigger than chipmunks, so the stripe/size engine ratio is larger...

Note the large clearly defined go-faster stripe on exhibit A. Bob the Badger



Whilst exhibt B, Charlie the Chipmunk has much smaller, ill-defined and 'uncool' stripes, curved even, which would surely make him spin madly on the spot.

So what you need is a badger's head on a chipmunk's body. The larger size of the head would overcome the rotational tendencies of the smaller body, while the body would provide angular momentum and enable directional adjustments.

Now that is an excellent idea!

With the speed of the badger and the agility of the chipmunk these new super-beings will allow us to take over the world!

Buhahahahaha!
