They did only 148 mph vs 145 mph for Bob Barber´s steam turbine car in 1985 and 150 mph for the Stanley´s Rocket in 1907. I don´t call that a progress. Every standart 911 Porsche can do better. The only thing they´d proven (again) is the extreme inefficiency of a pocket-sized steam turbine.
They could have build a new full-sized steam express locomotive for the money they spended in that thing. Waste of time , steam and money !!
Alright then. Put the video up.
I mean, for all your comments and nay-saying, you HAVE to have a video, right?
You know, proof that you've done it?
Because OBVIOUSLY you have experience, and proof, to back up your claims.
Only idiots would make claims they can't back up~ Right?

LOL, you guys are so fucking pathetic. The stanley was faster in 1906! Jesus christ, use some math! Use some common fucking sense.
Expect to have me taking your record in 5 years. I've already got steam driven rear engine dragster turning 110mph in the traps!

@MrDorfmann I agree. If they had taken a used porsche & put a 30hp steam engine in it they would've broken the record for a fraction of the cost.

Wow, you ignorant people sicken me, this was a hell of an achievement, I give huge respect for this car.

@Carstuff111 An old compound steam engine would've done better for a fraction of the cost.
