I looked on out the window and started counting phone poles
Going by at the rate of 4 to the 7th power.
Well I put 2 and 2 together added 12 and caried 5
And come up with 22 thousand telephone poles an hour.

There use to be a Swed that went by ghost rider. Rode a motorcycle and poped wheelies at 277 - 300kmph and rode them for miles. Complete maniac.

How big of a horse trailer will it pull?


I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

...... +1 .... My first thought was about critters, birds, whatever..... Going that fast I would imagine even a small bird could come right through the windshield.

Well, cool and all...

But not as cool as a few boys from Texas and a 10+ year old Ford GT doing 293.6 mph at the traps in just a mile:

Sure, the Koenigsegg is a "production" car. So to speak. But when your annual output is measured in the 10s of vehicles and they cost millions of dollars, are they really "production"??

I counted, it's 7 speed trans...........

Still, there had to be some pretty tall gears in the differential.

I've seen NHRA funny cars break speed and e.t. records multiple times.
This season it was Robert Hight going 339 mph on the 1000 foot course.
Unless you've watched an 11,000 horsepower nitromethane burning monster shake the earth, you haven't seen power and speed... (aircraft excluded).. wink

One of those things that must be witnessed to be believed.
Audio is impossible to pick up.
The absolute loudest, most violent acceleration imaginable ....beyond description.
