It's the curves, the chopper will head 'em off at the pass.

Oh, and did I mention that Veyron at speed will run out of fuel in minutes?

I wonder what the mpg is on a Veyron at, oh, say, 270 mph?

Run the 1,000 hp Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport at top speed and it will empty its 26.4-gallon fuel tank in 12 minutes. The Vitesse, with its extra 200 hp, will do it in 10.3, which is lucky actually because Michelin won't guarantee the tires to run above 250 mph for more than 15 minutes.”

Sikorsky is reviving one that can fly closer to 400 MPH. First version vibrated destructively. Modifications are to quash vibrations.

Today's engines are based in what Indy engines were doing about 1948. We know what Indy engines are doing today. How many years before that technology will be standard in cars?

yes, and it's certainly way beyond your reach.
