Re: T. rex vs Edmontosaurus speed

[jrc <jrccea@bellsouth.net>]

Re speed vs. musculature, let's for the moment make a loose general analogy 
with other animals, horses for example.  If musculature is directly related 
to speed, that would imply that Belgians, Percherons, and Clydesdales are 
faster than Thoroughbreds.  Is that in fact, the case?  In a similar vein, 
would a mastiff be expected to outrun a greyhound or whippet?
