Technically would mean someone has too good a hearing, to say that. I like how you’re basturizing that word (naw, that would be a mispronunciation like titnically). Also, technically is not the best kind of correct. No one gets to be a billionaire without being fancifully correct. ;)

Invisible (like Methanol, in daylight) flames are creepy, besides dangerous. I burned $600 Of Methanol (by 12 l/case) to heat our garage ‘studio’ one winter in Edmonton. Got it at cost from work. Stainless salad bowl on the floor at 1/4 l per burn, nice soft-blue flame, no sky washout. (Put out lots of moisture, an…

There must be an awareness of the scenario among the thinkers, and likely enough shared knowledge/experience. Planes can put out engine fires by moving (diving) faster. I’m more concerned at the dopyness of the hoseman after things got lit. He seemed to be a hazard to himself, even.

Since, as others have noted, this ‘experience’ won’t be available on public roads, why not just make it a VR simulator? If that still seems not ‘fast-car-fast’ enough, mount the sim unit in an autonomous bespoke jet/rocket airplane.

Reminds me of a friend back when, reinforced the bumpers on his ice racer beater. Drove like an idiot, caught lots of anger.

Maybe. But, in NYC, bumpers are consumables. I’ve ridden there, noticed the tight traffic and short ambers, wonder what the insurance situation is.

I wonder if the aerodynamicists in wheel-motorsports have parity (jobs available) in the aerospace industry. Lots of tweaking, even little local-flow control vanes/fins on wing or fuselage. Reynolds Numbers notwithstanding, of course.

I’d watch Seinfeld get coffee with Raikonen in this car. Is that show still alive?

Jason, you missed the most intriguing feature of this car. From ~4:00 in the documentary, amazing lightness. ;j

*...could be involved,...

For the folks here who don’t think acoustics could be cause this assault, I don’t know, but there *is* something new. From a TED TALK:

Fresh idea: full (-car) peeloffs. Might even make them graphic+different.

Pedants have their own special hell. Good luck with that. ;j

*Aliens’ kids.

Cosmo-archeology, fo sho. Might come in handy on ‘first contact’ (assume not c = max speed). ;j

I don’t get Loeb’s Sam Clemens disclaimer. A 10.e9 x pulsar-brightness capable civilization is totes going to go sailing*.

I get you now, I think:

From Wiki: Burying beetles have large club-like antennae equipped with chemoreceptors capable of detecting a dead animal from a long distance. After finding a carcass (most usually that of a small bird or a mouse), beetles fight amongst themselves (males fighting males, females fighting females) until the winning pair…

Jalops should discover the modded side of aviation.

If they’re diving slow, they’ll eventually glow/gloat over the side effects (nicer traffic). ;j
