SW's Boost Logic Supra takes the record back. This is the same car that broke the standing mile record.

We talk about Bugatti Veyron being the most incredible machine ever because it can achieve speeds up to 250 MPH, but these guys, who probably don't have nearly as much resources available to them as a car manufacturer, achieved these mind boggling numbers.

Truly impressive. Hats off.

I don't know about that. The factory doesn't have the time to invest in each machine, even when they're $1M. The beauty of a one-off is you can do things right to the limits without any worries that what you're doing won't scale.

Still - very impressive Chris! Congrats on the great work, I know it's far from easy.

Whoa I bet thats as fast as a Veyron!

/sarcasm

Reminds me of the recent thread of something similar; people comparing a Veyron to a 1500whp monster running a motor with half the displacement and nearly double the horsepower.

Nice job Chris!! What does "Brand X" have to say about SW's car? Do I need to go to SF to look? I saw the comments on youtube, it appears clint was trying to stir up trouble; or at least someone with his last name as their handle lol.
