Just a little quick!

amazing. :o

Yikes :o :o :o

For the record that slug of a car, the 1183 BHP Veyron Supersport, crawls to 60 MPH in 2.6 sec.....100 MPH in 5.0 secs.........and eventually hits 200 MPH some 22.2 secs after starting out.
Even a 2.2 Omega would give it a run for the money. ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Terminal Velocity is only 10m/s ::) about 120mph...

Yes, but why?
Man's got a point, I suppose. :-\

Did you see the first comment at the end...?
Yes, but can they tow a caravan?
Pmsl ;D

Yes a fully expect the chassis to disappear up the track and the body to be left exactly where it started. ;D ;D ;D

Surely zero to 100 MPH in just 0.6 of a second would crush your internal organs.
I imagine it would actually hurt.

Human body can handle quite high G forces. How much depends upon how and where it is sustained. Anything under 12.5g over a reasonable impact area should not cause injuries. When it is through the spine like an ejection seat up to 30g is possible, it compresses the back by about 0.5", but if the spine is not straight then back injuries will occur.
In NASCAR racing drivers have walked away from 100g accidents.
F16 pilots are used to up to +9g/-3g, during combat but blood migration causing blackout / red out are a problem if they are sustained or outside of these limits. G-suits are used to restrict the flow and migration of blood.
F1 drivers sustain up to 5.5g with 1.6g for acceleration, 4g when braking and the 5.5g in high speed long sweeping corners. F1 drivers work on building the muscles in their neck David Coulthard's is classic F1 size.
If you are an acceleration junkie, which most big bike riders are, then I would think driving a drag car like this must be very exhilarating. :) :) :y :y
