SpaceX Beta Test
Elon Musk approached me to do a beta test on turning my C63 into an Orbital Test Vehicle. When he's done, he says that I'll have 4 boosters each with 12,000lbs of thrust, which he says should put me solidly in the 9's.
Sorry can't share any details, I'm special and none of you are. He said something about replacing the cams with "solid rocket boosters", and that my "level of rad" will be "off the charts".
I intend to first do a low Earth orbit test, and then once I have my car properly shielded with ceramic tiles, do do full re-entry tests.
I will post both before and after dynos, however Elon said something about melting the shop. We will see.

Those Orbital Test Vehicle's sound like ****. They sound so bad they have to pipe better sound into the main cockpit so that you think you are hearing awesomeness, while outside it sounds like a fart in a wet swimsuit. AKA an M3/4.
