I find the twists and turns of race track or back roads much more fun than going fast in a straight line. On the race track you use the straights to check your gauges and tighten your seat belts. :)

Impressive car though, makes one wonder if there is some compensation going on here. :oops:

Think about it, 225 plus from a standing start in less than a mile  :bowdown:
As far as driving goes, no, not too interesting.
The thrill goes to the engine guys who made it happen.

That is surely a monster motor. Did you notice all the dash lights going off :shock: . Not really my gig though. I prefer to take my G forces laterally.

He needs more practice going in a straight line. :wink:
Did he clutch the car end of the run and loose it when it unloaded?

Do you suppose you need the fingers on two hands or just one to count the number of runs before the motor gets rebuilt? :burnout:
That wheel hop on start can't be doing the trannie or differential much good either.
