Meanwhile on a distant alien planet.. "The hell are all those humans bickering about NOW..?"
Good lord, why does it matter where it's made. Last I checked The War of 1812 is over. They're trying to crack 1000mph, that's cool no matter where you're from
The way to stand up for your county is not to put down others. As a Brit, I'm immensely proud of this car, but there's no need to act high and mighty about it. Can't wait to see it run next year though!
Best British cars Mclaren F1, Ascari, lotus, AC427 Morgan all have German motors and American motors Some of the most iconic American cars like the Shelby Cobra and ford gt had British bodies and suspension, I don't think ford would have beat
Like the Cadillac ATS, American car tested in Germany, probably with some help from a German guy here or there but it's an American car nonetheless
And there may have been foreigners that helped to make things but in the end why did we get the credit for it? Because these things had mostly American technicians and American companies/government paid for them and Americans are the ones that mainly use them
There have been great things that have come out of both countries so if you're gonna get in a fight over "who invented this" or "who invented that" it's pointless
Austin Powers was great movie and for that I'll always love the English
Everybody seems like a proper cock right now... None of you made one single important accomplishment, otherwise u wouldn't sit here, wasting ur time.
Dear British people: I know it's hard to understand how anyone could possibly be envious of your accomplishments, but that's what I was alluding to. I guess, as an American, I'm just used to it by now.
If any American wants to brag about inventions, most USA inventions came from people from other countries.
Americans were brits 200 years ago, only difference is area and we mingled w/ other countries. Both have great people and stupid peole.
If it wasn't for America you redcoats would be eating sour krout and speaking German.
Exactly... Car wise Britain is much more superior than you.. and for any other way.. we are one of the best countries in the world, unlike America... who just eat everything
Description: Designing the vehicle and fund raising were both launched almost five year ago, exactly as the world's banking system melted down and the world economy was on the precipice. However, Noble is an ...

Considering it only acts as a fuel pump, why would it need more than 800 horsepower?
Description: The turbofan jet engine, which can also be found in the Eurofighter Typhoon, should propel the car in the initial stages of acceleration. The rocket should keep the acceleration momentum up through th...

Lol no kidding, I'd have to get paid to strap my ass to that thing.. :eek:
This vehicle has no tires, just metal wheels. Tires on this thing would Disintegrate at the speeds this thing is capable of.
They don't need to be thick cuz this thing only goes in a straight line and doesnt need great handling. And thin tires reduce drag
Description: This is followed by the start-up of the Cosworth that activates the HTP pump which pumps the HTP (Hydrogen Peroxide) at a rate of 35-liters/second for about 20 seconds to the rocket's main ch...

Paragraphs 10, 16, and 18 all refer to this as a car. Sorry for being literate, guys.
No where in this ad does it say car. Its not a car. Its just a vehicle to break the landspeed record. It stays on the ground and goes fast.
Knox I don't understand. They are specifically talking about the rocket.... Not about the car... So why would they call a rocket a car..
Description: Top speed is 1,050 mph (Mach 1.4) or 469 meters per second when the wheels do 10,300 rpm. The combined thrust of the two engines, which will operate simultaneously in the acceleration's final pha...

What if this thing did its top speed and hit a pebble I wonder if it'd obliterate the pebble or flip?
Description: “By the middle of the [next] year we will be driving it up and down on runways and testing it up to 200mph." Noble plans for the LSR attempt to take place in South Africa on a special surface bei...

I think rocky is american hes just embarresed becouse his country couldnt make anything to go that faston the ground
I just see this as "pointless", a waste of money, and we already know how fast a Rocket can go. So, big deal, it's got wheels...if you want to do some real impressing, get this thing to do 1000+ using just the V8 engine along. Then you can have bragging rights
An automobile, autocar, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Powered Yes Self-propelled Yes Wheels 3–4 Axles 0–2 So yes, it is consodered an automobile, or car.
JGL, weight doesn't have anything to do with top speed. Acceleration yes, not speed. It said it weights 14,158 lbs if you actually read the article. If it weights very little, then the drag will weight it back So it might be better for it to be heavy
are they sure this will make it do 1000 mph. the body is goning to be really light hopefuly
LOL ya! ....unless you count the core of the largest known star as a rock.
Actually the biggest rock mankind knows isn't earth. It is Gliese 436 c, which is about 5 times the size of earth.
It will be in vain. at 1000 mph the darn thing will thrust straight into the ground hitting the biggest rock we know... plannet earth
They weren't kidding when they said by hand... They're using buckets to clear over 20 million square meters...
Hiring rock collectors. Pay: $6.75 an hour. Must be US citizen, and capable of acquiring confidential security Clarence.
