The 1910 stanley steamer hit like 127 MPH Lul and that was about 100 years befor this car! Way to fail.

@KenMacMillan, I know... a lot better too. What a silly configuration they used!

Nice and grainy. Quit using F-ing cellphones.

They could've done better with a Doble type of set up for a fraction of the cost.

@PaganWarDrummer The ssc. I hear that their design of the boiler and the engine could have been more efficient. Who knows maybe they'll try it again with a better design and crack 200.

@mackat4ck

What is it, the 1906 or the SSC? Either way, it still proves my point.

@PaganWarDrummer it eventually did 148.308 mph over two consecutive runs over a measured kilometer.
