Yes there is no reason to be afraid of 'lectric if it cannot
complete a circuit.

The height thing would kill it for me. The bird on
the line comment sums it up.

More relative, and impressive, is the link to the Veyron top speed run....

Indeed: <http://www.flixxy.com/bugatti-veyron.htm>

They sure know how to dramatise it :-)

I remember back in the 80s there was a supercar called the Vector. It
was a twin turbo 350 Chev that could manage 397km/h without all that
shape shifting. However it did put out 1300hp.

It was actually a lot closer to 350km/h and 650hp.

The Vector might be back; see

I wonder if the new Vector will live up to Wiegert's hype this
time.

I remember you could adjust the boost from inside the cabin to take it
up to 1300hp at full boost. I thought the TV show Beyond 2000 verified
it at 247mph. The claim was 250.
