A pointless exercise which proves absolutely nothing, except that it is probably very expensive to stage.
I would be more interested if my car could beat the one beside me at the traffic lights.
Not really a kill joy, but just read the previous thread.

I'd like to see the porsche hang together at 288 mph [or more for a 747]:\

cars are all slow, limited, mupetty, two dimensional, boring, stupid ground vehicles :E

Following JEM's lead, I had some preppie Nancy Boy pull up next to me in his brand new Beemer. Two lanes converged into one within 200 yards. At the Green, I jumped on it and beat him to the merge.

At the next light, I said that I thought his car was pretty fast for a Hundai.

Dirty looks.

hehehehe.

I drive a Ford Freestyle Crossover. Doesn't look quick, but once the Continuously Variable Transmission kicks in -and at 6000 RPM- you jump like a Jack Rabbit.

Actually, I suspect the BMW is faster. He just wussed out.
