Supersonic traffic ticket
that's a nice picture Maeglamor, but if you're trying to beat 3000 km/h + (as the car in the first link apparently did), the rubber tires will melt almost instantly from the heat.  not to mention the G-forces you'd experience at those speeds

you'll have to find some sort of anti-gravitation device ;), like repulsorlifts :D

Hmpff... they did a test, radars can't effectively flash a car that travels +/- 275 mph.

The camera takes two pics, but at that speed either it doesn't flash at all or the second pic is just a piece of road without the car :p
I AM GOD! AND I SHALL SMITE THEE!



...because I can :drevil:

[Geek]Repulsorlifts counter a planet's gravity to allow transport. Innertial dampeners (sometimes referred to as Inertial Compensators) reduce or eliminate entirely the G-forces associated with making high-speed changes in velocity.

i believe that's what he said

He was referring to an anti-gravitation device which would stop the tires melting at such high speeds (you wouldn't even need tires at all), not to reducing/eliminating G-Force.

Right Staelth?
