1,000mph car...
Ah yes, but what's its carbon footprint?
 It'll probably have a poor tank range and steering lock too... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7685049.stm Gimme

Re: 1,000mph car...
I don't want to drive. Jesus what would you look like if that thing crashed at 1000mph.

Re: 1,000mph car...
I dont think I would like to drive it......its a very big risk......I cant even begin to imagine the forces at those speeds, the slightly bump in the surface and it could be all over.
