the thing i find funny is how they are going on about the G force he will be under, maybe he should try driving a top fuel dragster if he wants g force on the ground. And how is this claimed to be a "car" its a rocket on wheels.

[1050mph]

It all depends how you define 'car'? Car is short for carriage, you don't find many of these driven through the wheels either. :-)

G forces will be max 3G but sustained for 20 seconds, it will be uncomfortable but F1 driver and pilots feel much higher (but for just a few seconds).

Does anyone know is there is a conversion from thrust to hp?

[1050mph]

There isn't a direct conversion as they are both different forces, it can be approximated at 133,000 thrust horse power (or 180 F1 cars)

what happened to the scorpian? O.o

[AviPure1]

For many reasons, just look it up. Probably all to do with the thicker air.

why not?

[AviPure1]

Not at sea level though.

lame comparison. Eurpfighter top speed in excess of mach 2

[AdamTheMan1993]

An F1 car produces 750 horse power so 750 x 180 equals 135,000 horse power.
