  • The SSC Tuatara is officially the world's fastest production car. With an average two-way speed of 282.9 mph over 2.3 miles, SSC broke the standing record of 278mph. This happened last week while testing at JBPG in Kennedy Space Center on SSC's quest to break 300 mph.

      Of course it is. The horsepower and aerodynamical requirements to go 200+ MPH are obscene. The car would probably be good for 315 with a long enough tarmac

The American V8 is the Undisputed King of Performance HP and Torque. Nothing from Europe can even come close to the power levels of a fully built big V8. Nothing absolutely nothing.

      It’s not the power that matters so much it’s the drag. If you start getting air up under the vehicle you’re going to get major lift and it’s going airborne. It’s a delicate balance of power and downforce that the engineers have to deal with.

      @Omar Williams My point was that he probably did a very smart thing, to start braking before the planned spot, whether from concerns about how the braking zone was chosen, or instinctive fear of death. Braking distance/problems from 300 to 0 might have become a different animal than 270 to 0, and doing it from 286 was a big enough jump for one run versus another, until he has a better idea of how the braking phase changes at increasingly higher speeds.. Hitting 300 or the previously claimed 331 and then having tires or brakes fail to stop the car wouldn't be good. Building up the speed a little more each run, rather than going for a big jump in speed, might avoid a disaster by having things go a bit wrong but not fatally wrong as you approach whatever the disaster speed is. There is pretty surely a speed at which something stops working as hoped. He took enough chances as it was. Having fans wish he kept his foot on the pedal longer, isn't a good enough reason to do so.
      Neil Armstrong was asked 1000 times whether he was scared going to the moon. Usually the answer was about confidence in equipment and training, focus on mission, that a little fear is useful for being super alert to danger, etc. But one time his answer was more along the lines that "Putting my pink little body into a tin can on top of a huge rocket full of propellant, with some parts made by the lowest bidders, and then leaving Earth way behind, was of course scary. No matter how good you are at flying it, you can't be sure you'll make it home to the wife and kids OK. We knew it, but loved doing the job we signed up for." I'm paraphrasing, but definitely remember the "pink little body" part as a direct quote, which I cannot now find the source of.

Wheel braking above those speeds is generally unsafe outside of purpose-built race cars. Both drag racing & land speed tests use chutes to slow down to a safer speed to use wheel brakes.

    Very fast car...was surprised with all the wind noise...can't even hear the engine after 200mph...the engine in the Koenigsegg Agera sounded glorious the entire WR run.

      @@VaunShiz It was still pulling at 286. It would, with no doubt, do 300. I believe a lot of those "haters" actually proved that it could go 300, but the issue was with the video of the run and the technology used to record it.
