For those of you who post on multiple forums, could you please get the word out about the Ultimate Aero? This will be a rain or shine event and the weather forecast keeps improving so hopefully we'll be out in the lot rather than the garage. We're not ready to call it.

Sounds like we've come full circle to the cannon again. We just need to borrow a white Mini. I wonder where we could find such a car?

LOL, then that would mean the cause of death would be the acceleration caused by the cannon. I need the accelerator pedal to be directly tied to the cause of death.

The problem is for us to grant you your wish, you'd have to achieve 1,200 MPH in less than a second, roughly ten times faster than a typical dragster. You will need assistance to achieve your goal so I'm thinking a cannon is the only practical method. The use of a Mini is actually optional. There may be other more suitable rides. We could talk to the professional pumpkin chuckers for solid advice.

Rep Power: 169 That seems to be a lot. Anyone actually know how many of these Lambo look alikes they've actually sold in the last few years? That's a stat I'd like to know.
Tommy it's a look alike

Or the real thing. Do you have green seats? This isn't why you aren't going to have the car the next 2 weeks is it?

It's hardly a Lambo look alike, interestingly enough the shape is dictated by aerodynamics I would imagine
And guys let me rephrase it, I don't want to die...LOL....I just want a car so powerful that going full throttle would result in instant death. Which would mean it would be faster at 1/2 throttle than a top fuel car

H20, I'm content to say your Mini is faster... (definitely when shot out a cannon) and leave it at that.
I believe, they were building 50 and 26 cars sold so far. Anything low and flat looks like a Lamborghini.
Who told you about my green seats? They are made from about two dozen actual green cows found in a particular field on the shores of northern Ireland. VERY, VERY expensive. By the way, do you need some steaks? They have a slight tinge of green, but are otherwise okay.
