NO airplane at 1/10th that price is going anywhere near 268mph.

How can you NOT pick up chicks with that car?

[cableguymn]

That is in the optional time travel package. Even the time machine in the movie uses an internal combustion engine to get up to 88 miles per hour :)

[DaxtonBrown]

[That ought to get you down t o the corner Minit Mart........ and quickly.]

I’m thinking down to the gas station quick, I wonder what the mileage is?

[TheOldLady]

Boop His Nose! It's Soft... but Mind the Teeth!

A Tuatara is a lizard that isn’t particularly fast.

Yes but it only eats one quarter of its bodyweight a year.

If the car can match that, a Prius will look like a fuel hog.

[cableguymn]

depends on how you drive it. WOT probably measured in feet per gallon.

Cruzing down the highway at 70mph? teens per gallon would be my guess.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

That ought to get you down t o the corner Minit Mart........ and quickly.

Yeah...but there's no room for groceries.

[Oztrich Boy]

James May, their Speed King, has already said it’s not slippery enough to make 275, and he doesn’t believe it.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Yeah, but you only need the vehicle to achieve 88 mph to make the jump to “time warp” speed.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Now that, right there, is funny. No matter who you are!

:: teens per gallon would be my guess ::

As long as they are over 8-TEENS, dude!

[frithguild]

No steel in it. I hope it has very effective gorund effects. I do not understand the fins.

Keep it to the weight of a Lotus Elise, and they may have something. Its predecessor was 2,800 lbs. Veryon is over 4,000 lbs., probably inspired by a T-72.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Nice car,,, but that color scheme is hideous!

[Nervous Tick]

>> How can you NOT pick up chicks with that car?

Well, if they’re fat, they won’t fit inside. Just to answer your question.

[TexasM1A]

The nose reminds me of the Enzo.

[SJSAMPLE]

May?
“Captain Slow”, as they call him?

You may mean Hammond.

[steve86]

Shelby SuperCars is based about 4 miles from me, and I have seen the Ultimate Aero at a car show here, but has the company ever actually sold one?

[DManA]

My ideal car would go 250......

thousand miles between servicing.

[NCC-1701]

Having a blowout at 268 mph will get into a grave pronto.
