    Wow! I can't believe how that car rockets down the straigtaways!

    Having a hard time with the sound though, or lack of it...maybe they could use some of their own technology to make it sound more appealing???

    I was on the Salt Flats when the Buckeye Bullet set the world land speed record for electric vehicles at 321 mph.
