It's called the bloodhound ssc. The current landspeed record is held by a british team at 763 mph. This new car aims to accelerate from 0-1050mph in 42secs. INSANE!!!!

That's not a car. It's a rocket sled with a seat. :P

So when do they stopped being considered cars, and start being classified as rolling phalluses.

I'd drive it on the street anyway. It's not like any cop could catch you in that thing.

I don't think it has much steering ability if any at all.

I've read about this since Feburary 2009. Not big news to me at all. The current British team holds the land speed record with the Thrust SSC at 763.035 MPH. The VERY SAME team is going to be using the Bloodhound SSC to break their own record. It also doesn't have brake to make it lighter. Well it does but these are handbrakes to keep it from rolling when at a stop. It uses a parachute to slow it down. The G force generated from acceleration will be 50,000 G. The vehicle itself will be 13 metres long, will weigh with full fuel 6.7 tonnes and 4.8 tonnes without fuel. Wheels wheigh 140 KG each. An EJ200 jet engine from a Eurofighter Typhoon will take the vehicle to 300 MPH before the driver, Andy Green, triggers the rocket.
