I understand this is hyperbole, but actually trees cut and bend cars without flinching



Also, if the beauty of this car is that people will buy them and store them and hopefully sell them at a profit then it is worthless. Cars should become collectibles after they prove themselves. When they tell you its a collectible its just a way for them to get deeper into your wallet.

What about an overpass bridge's vertical structural support?

Nuts....I wouldn't call it worthless....it would be finicky to maintain.

I would say 750hp is all one needs for HP on the street. 1000HP+ reminds me of the movie Spaceballs "Ludicrous speed? Sir, we've never gone that fast before...I don't know if the ship can take it".....who ever buys it have fun!!!!!

The two gas tanks/fuel systems is the idea of the 'run what you brung'. Start from home, drive to the track, race, and drive home. You use the small gas for the high octane race fuel to get the max power for the strip, then swap it back to regular octane. I just went to checkout a '66 coupe for sale that was built just for this purpose.

Obviously these cars won't see the track (or a road for that matter), but the idea is cool and the power is amazing.
