MAVERICK,

Assuming any human could hang on, what about the wheelbase?  Turning something that long would take a full city block.  Sure is fun thinking about it though.

Jerry,
Have you ever seen the jet cars run at the drag strip? 60,000 hp the accleration would be awsome. From the words of the famous drag racer John Force. I saw Jesus at 1000 feet.
