[DeTomaso] FAST CAR

[Ken Green]

The scary thing is that kinetic energy goes with the square of speed, so this thing has 16 times the energy to release at 400 KPH that it would have at 100 KPH.  If anything goes wrong, it is really bad.

Hooly $Hit !!  Scared me just watching on full screen!  Awesome!  Even a bird strike would have been deadly
at that speed.  Amazing how stable it was. (seemed like it any way ;-)
