#8 plans this year to go at 1000mph in the 'bloodhound' faster then a bullet. they are going to set in in south africa and the team behind it are the same ones from thrust SSC. british engineering at its best.

#9. All bullets travel faster than 1000 mph. Some travel at twice that speed. Personally I don't see the point of pursuing speed records with 'cars' powered by jet engines. They are basically aeroplanes without the wings. Rather pointless. Much better to accept the constraint that the engine(s) must always drive some or all of the car's wheels.

I think a car record is for cars where the wheels are powerd, not with a jet engine. If they put a ariane rocket( used by ESA) they can hit mach 7 in a car. but if it is a good idea?

#14 I agree, how is this a car? In my humble opinion to qualify as "car" it must either be fit for any racing competion's rules or traffic. This is indeed a tuned down aeroplane...

#14 Not all bullets travel faster than 1000 mph
1000 miles per hour = 1466.6666666666667 feet per second.
Some bullets travel as "slow" as 800 feet per second.
#15 World land speed records are recognized in many different classes, including wheel driven like you mention. Craig Breedlove was the first to take the record with jet propulsion in 1963. His run was considered unofficial until 1964. No holder of the absolute record has been wheel driven since 1963.
#17 World land speed record attempts are officiated by various governing bodies with regard to where the attempt takes place. Results are submitted to the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Would you consider that to be fit for any racing competitions rules?

#14 + #17. yes everything seems a bit extreme as far as a car goes, but imagine if the people who pushed the limits of what something could do, never pushed them limits? Flight? Rockets? Electricity? Steam engines? where would we be in this world without the innovators? Probably still stuck in the dark ages... they just done it because they wanted to and they could..............................


AND I THANK THEM ALL.

#18 You are so right about mph of bullets and here is a handy calculator to find mph from feet per second that I use....

#19. I'm all for exploration and adventure and innovation. But what is 'pushing the limits' about taking the wings off a jet plane and 'flying' it along the ground? No, the only thing being pushed to the limits here is the ego of Richard Noble.

#21 I gave you a thumb up for your naysaying, as I believe people like you spur true adventurers and innovators to push the limits even further. Thank you for your contribution.

#22. I suppose people will think I should thank you for the thumbs up, even though you gave it me for the wrong reason. Sorry to say though, that I shall not be thanking you. Why not? Because I don't give a shit whether people thumb me up or down or not at all. It's irrelevant, and one of the worst, silliest, childish and most divisive features of snotr. The fact that my comments are read is reward enough for me. :)
