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

Good luck team - looks like you're back on track for the record :-)

[SirVladDracula]

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?

The scene and sound is cool... Reminds me of "forbidden planet"

@nattsurfaren Obviously Susan Boyle.

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!

@KenMacMillan yeah buts wheres the fun in that why do it so easily when u have a chance to do it in an absurdly complex way :)

[KenMacMillan]

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

[KenMacMillan]

@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.

[MrDorfmann]

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 !!

It is too slow. You can't get world record.
