Not as cool as the Landmaster...

Meh.

Wow, Damon. How much projection can you pack into one stupid headline?

He’s a gutless hypocrite, and his moronic followers are clueless communists who need to move out of mommy and daddy’s basement and get jobs.

Dismissing your inane replies from here on, Tommy Boy, as you are only repeating the same ignorance over and over, somehow believing that you are making new points.

By the way, writer, your article desperately needs the eye of a good copy editor.

Wah!! The car I like went way faster than this car. The car I like is the fastest, bestest, coolest car ever and this car is cheating. The driver and all the bad people are cheating.

I stopped reading crackpipe logic early on in the article when I read “average speed over segment 1 to be 175, and segment 2 to be 195. To me that makes an average over both segments of *actually* 185.”

I feel like every speed record should be accompanied by a chart showing how much your ticket would cost in each state if you were pulled over going that speed.

I believe that driver has already stated that he won’t be doing this again.

Cheyron, is that an LS-swapped Veyron or something? ;-)

Nice try. We all know the earth is flat. Just look it up on YouTube.

Who would have thought that measuring top speed was as complicated as measuring dick size?..

Seriously, a normal sane person who notices this would think, huh Top-Gear seems to have mixed up the video and move on with their lives and let the experts (Guinness) do their due diligence. Meanwhile in the wacky real world we now live in these people spent countless hours trying to prove SSC didn’t set a record.

Summary, in XKCD form:

The pressure should (using my non-tire-engineer logic) actually help with the tire’s survivability at speed. My understanding is that high-speed tire failure usually comes from a delamination or tread failure due to excessive heat. The heat is generated due to the rapid deformation of the tire, so if you can reduce…

Different guy, not related.

Who said anything about Tesla and their imaginary-for-now Roadster?

Salt flats don’t allow cars to hit their maximum speed, the drag is too high. They also (typically) don’t allow you to run both ways at Bonneville which would preclude a legitimate world record.
