1000 miles an hour!

I saw the animation that they prepared for this, showing an imagined race between the car and a jet fighter, it's a very scary thought.

Some killjoy was on the radio this week moaning on about what a waste of money this is. It may be hard to justify the effort if you just look at the balance sheet, but for national prestige alone this is worth supporting.

If you go through the animations, there is one which demonstrates the car accelerating away from a 357 Magnum bullet..wow!

I sincerely do hope that they do it....the only downside from this is that the main sponsor is STP..surely they are American? :(
