Not impressed with it or any of the Jet/Rocket sleds! Cars driven through gearing to the wheels impresses me! Not some high priced jet blast from the past. :highly_amused:

Gee, no one wants to get the Super Sonic Car completed? (I've led a sheltered life. Who cares if a human-driver land vehicle can break the sound barrier.)

Wait, I have a cheaper project. A hypersonic toilet flush mechanism. Clears the pipes faster than a speeding bullet.

Who wants to sponsor? Just PayPal me. First to send $100K gets the first flush.

yeesh

I'd sooner see a TR6 get up to 150 mph. Any takers?

A friend told me the only way I'd get my ol' TR3 up to 150 mph, was to drop it from around 30,000 ft.

But it would get great gas mileage on the way down.

MG tried that. Didn't end well.
