LOL wanna bet? I saw a special on the Thrust project and one of their main engineering problems was preventing it from taking off. They can't have too much downward pressure else it would get forced into the ground. Not enough and it will hit the space station lol...danmand said:That is the scary thing about it. It can't fly.
The answer is 5.tboy said:I bet rub knows the formula for calculating the amount of angle needed to provide x amount of downward force at x miles per hour. (I bet it is in the mm).
This is stupid, where do they plan on driving this contraption???danmand said:
Probably the Bonneville Salt Flats... the same place they do all the land-speed record attempts.Esco! said:This is stupid, where do they plan on driving this contraption???

I don't know what you consider "mid" priced but to me, that's in the 50 to 60K range and there are a LOT of vehicles in their that can double the speed limit. I think the Mitsubishi Lancer and Evo are up there in acceleration too and they can be had for around 20K.S.C. Joe said:Seen about this a few days ago...whats they say, like zero to 1,000 mph in 40 seconds, lol...think it goes 4 1/2 miles in that 40 seconds too...WOW.
Now stupid I'm not so sure. Back in the 1930's they were able to get a car to go 300 mph, today thats "easy"..the dragsters can do the quarter mile in under 5 seconds and at over 300 mph--all the time. So maybe in like 70 years time, the dragsters will be going 1,000 mph all the time.
I think its "cool"....now if we could just get some quicker mid price new cars, SUV's but sadly the tide is shifting to MPG, not MPH.
