When it gets around 250 mph the dashed white lines on the crown of the road look like they are moving backwards.
Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

It's a side-effect of the camera's frame rate.  It's like in old west movies with the wagon wheel spokes in motion.  



He was really hauling ass.  

We don't get enough sense of it in the video because there are very few objects passing by for reference.  But the occasional signpost reveals it.

The car doesn't even get into boost until about 180mph...

That's a relief.  For a moment, I was worried that it might be one of those things related to space-time continuum.  Like the ripple they found.   :nana: 

At least I didn't think the car actually started going backwards at 250 mph.   :smilielol: That is clearly an important future milestone. 

The view out the windshield is impressive.

Last thing they need is for a rabbit to rip the splitter off at that speed....

That is friggin bad ass. Holy crap! There is no way I could handle that...I would want to stay at 280 mph just to keep feeling that rush.

Homerr

Tire life at these speeds freaks me out, I think it's measured in minutes.

Kern Dog

How many miles can you drive at that speed before the gas tank runs dry ?

Homerr

I think they closed off 11 miles of highway, so at least that far.
