Not too shavy...hehehe, Aerodynamics play a big role. The front I assume creates enough down force to keep it planted. It sits very low as well. If air is not able to get underneath it but on top, that may be the key.

Did you guys hear the "sonic boom"! Yeah I can hear Allan Lambo now telling people his SLR would stay with this 0-60 LOL!! 763, Gustav brings it to Sweeden an the B7 Alpina out runs it. This is engineering at its finest. Breaking the sound barrier simply amazes me

How much $? Is it street legal? Do you think it can be used as a daily driver?

Thanks, I appreciate the responses.

Cool, I was thinking of having that as my DD and maybe a Blackbird SR71 as the street racing sleeper.

Bummer, our Salt Flats are do degraded, that you can't do that here.

Spirit of America was Thrusts main competition and it could only hit 338 up here. They gave up on the Salt Flats and now if you wanna jam like Thrust, you go to Black Rock Desert in Nevada.

The Spirit of America vs Thrust war musta be awesome.

These guys in Washington state are trying to bring the land speed record back to America

I can't believe Juicee63 has never seen the Thrust SSC before. It was all over the news when it happened. Also there are some amazing photos on the web showing the shockwave coming off of Thrust SSC when it is approaching the sound barrier. I used to have one as my wallpaper.

"The Blackbird had outrun nearly 4,000 missiles, not once taking a scratch from enemy fire. On her final flight, the Blackbird, destined for the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, sped from Los Angeles to Washington in 64 minutes, averaging 2,145 mph and setting four speed records".
