So this is apparently the 'fastest car ever made'.

The next one's got a V12. As a fuel pump.

>>15089878
powered wheel is a different category
and that's the worlds fastest motor cycle

>>15089878
you can see both engines in that picture. there are no cylinders

that's a jet

>>15089901
I don't understand

how do you have an engine without cylinders

>>15089912
what are rotaries?

>>15089912
it's a turbojet

>>15089930
an engine where the piston cylinder head spins around inside the piston shaft

>>15089936
is this some kind of engine I've never heard of

how does it drive a camshaft

>>15089912
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbojet

>>15089912
Easy. Not all engines have cylinders. Not all engines are powered by gas or even internal combustion.

>>15089878
Two cylinders and the displacement is all the air required.

The trick is to keep it on the ground. :)

>>15089912
Jet engines.

>>15089953
Is there any reason to use these instead of a chevy small block v8 or a hemi? They seem to not have a listed displacement number so I dont think they can displace a 6.2L v8

>>15089878
OP your moms minivan can try for that speed but she'll never win in category C.
Breedlove and co walked away after that bang.
Most of the beeping on the vid is to warn the pilot that he really ought to be falling out of the sky about now.

>>15089949
>camshaft
Are you retarded?

Honestly my question is how race cars in arcade games fit dual turbojets into the exhausts that can only be used for a few seconds.

>>15089978
Uh, they're way, way, way more powerful? This thing breaks the sound barrier.

>>15090014
The answer to that is a fucking retard troll.
He either can't wrap his head around the idea that Craig Breedlove can have a faster truck than him or he is just a fucking troll..

>>15090031
>>15090014

I think what he's getting at is that it's not a """real engine""" (TM)

I find this to be significantly more interesting than the scc or whatever. one is making a car, especially a steam engine, fast, the other is making a jet not fly.

>>15090760
You do realise that it is a kettle spinning a turbine which results it moving by a similar means to the other vehicle in this thread.

Andy Green seems to have an issue with sitting still these days.

that's nitrous fool it shoot blue flames out of your exhaust and it thrust your car faster

I'm pretty sure a Civic would smoke that shit on a real track, it can't turn so it's not the fastest

>>15089895
It has four wheels, so it's a car.

FTFY. Those are the engines from an F4 Phantom.

0-100 in about six 100 - 600 in about the same time, a few seconds later you get a sonic boom and it's time to think about getting it stopped.

You could always start your Civic at the start of the measured mile and see if you can keep up.
Better still start about a quarter of a mile earlier and when he rolls past about six hundred miles an hour faster you can try to get a tow.

>>15091655

Bloodhound sounds fun. Basically you get to pretty much all of what SSC had to give and then light the blue touch paper.
That might actually get someone seriously hurt.

Isn't it a F1 V8?

There is no might in this thing.

Any wreck at speed is instant death through sheer G-Forces. Andy Greens brain will get turned to mush inside his skull should something break and the cockpit digs into the salt. At least it'll be quick.

That is a car because it's a car. Somebody put mattrax on it.

Getting back to the original topic, of course landspeed cars look different, they're optimized for maximum top speed and nothing else. It's also why time attack cars look so goofy with shittons of aero, or why dragsters look so different.

The official record is apparently not as fast as they could actually go. I've heard of one being taken to a Jaguar dealership (since it had the Jag I6 from the E-type) and being tuned, with the governor removed.

They're also stupid light on ground pressure. Back in the falklands, they found they could be driven and parked on stuff that a man would just sink into. Which they discovered by getting out for a piss and sinking into a bog.
