Zero to 233 MPH in 3 seconds is going to physically hurt.

The Veyron Supersport  takes a glacially slow 22 seconds to reach just 200 MPH.

An army guy called John Stapp did something similar in the fifties with a rocket sled. Pictures of him with bleeding eyes. :y

Each to their own, but a 3-4s run followed by a complete engine rebuild isn't my idea of a fun day out at the seaside.  ;D

Read about this guy a few years back , he wasn't afraid to try anything & expected nobody other than himself to test his theories , good man but I bet he had problems getting life insurance..😀
