Ridge Rider Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I don't recall seeing this job at career day. Sure looks like fun.
58 Impala Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Wow, that car is a beast. That's some serious acceleration.
cobraman Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Lets see, if I sell my house, my 3 cars and my Cobra collection and my gun collection would that be enough for a down payment ? Then I only have to worry about the monthly payments. : )
Guest Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 My Saturn is faster! seriously, that is insane. What is that rocket powered by?

A.R.C. Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Too bad you cant get it in an El Camino form. I`d look totally bad-ass hauling my motorcycle to the track at that speed.

Erik Smith Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I was really surprised when I saw a Hennessey car driving around Spokane - O think it was a Nissan...my Hyundai couldn't keep up. That's a cool video - unbelievable how fast that thing gets to 270 mph...just getting to 270 at all is insane.
CJ1971 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Wish I was Steve Tyler... ??... ? Man that thing is FAST!!! Question though.... To be a Guiness World Record, doesn't any car ( attempting ) the record have make 2 passes ( up-back ) then have the speed averaged between the 2 runs???
Pete J. Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 This thing is not only fast but it looks good doing it!
58 Impala Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I roughly timed the video. He hit 60 in 3.3, 100 in 6.0, 200 in 15.0 and 270 in 43 seconds. The thing is wicked fast. The Veyron on Top Gear had to have a running start, this beast did it from a standing start.

The Veyron on Top Gear had to have a running start, this beast did it from a standing start. Actually, he did do it from a roll. But, still, that thing is wicked quick (FAST too). He was "granny shifting" & got to 270 in 43 seconds.
Jantrix Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 So is it built tough enough to make a 270 mph crash survivable?
Quick GMC Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Keep in mind, this is a pushrod V8. It's amazing how far they can push the envelope with these engines. The Corvette does it every year.
Chuck Most Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 This is the only Saturn faster than that - Maybe that's the kind of Saturn he has...
Dragline Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I played this at work today [NAPA] and at the 260 MPH mark when it started climbing at 1 MPH increments I looked around me. Slack jaws on every face. There was some discussion afterwards and to a man they were all impressed. Amazing performance. Bob
Johnag4004 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 When I first saw the car i thought it was a Lotus...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 So is it built tough enough to make a 270 mph crash survivable? Well...um...likely not LOL but HEY!, it would happen so fast, you might not even have time to be scared.
