Certainly not whiplash inducing "



Hmm, 757 w/RR engines at Max Power is very impressive.
Especially if your weight is down around 180-190,000 lbs (85,000 Kg).(typical weight for a 2-3 hr flight).

Thrust to weight is almost down to .5, which is similar to fighter a/c 'dry' thrust to weight ratios.
