Right, it's based on percentages. It takes a lot more horsepower to drop from 10.0 to 9.0 than it does to drop from 18.0-17.0 in the 1/4 mile. It's still just a one second drop, but 1 second makes up a much larger percentage on the 10->9 second scenario.

Yes, this goes without saying as the faster you go the more energy you need to move the "mass" from point A to B is a shorter period of time and the rate of acceleration needed to make it happen. Adjust the mass or the energy and the equations results will change.
