To be fair, the Speed 12 was by far the most bonkers car made by an already completely bonkers company. It's gloriously unhinged.

TVR's are basically the UK's version of an American muscle car. Big, ridiculous engine crammed in a small chassis of suspect design....best driven half drunk and by the young.

V12s are cool and all but really they have a couple of major flaws.

1) Two times too many cylinders.

2) Not near enough angle between the banks.

I think we can find the solution.

PS - As wild as the Zonda is, the exhaust has always sounded synthetic and hollow to me.

quote:

Danny Thompson set out last month to best his Bonneville speed record of 256 mph in an ethanol-powered Mustang. He hit 265 mph and then flipped his 'Stang end over end. Here's the astonishing view from the passenger seat.

Thompson, son of famed Bonneville driver Mickey Thompson, was driving a Hajek Racing Mustang with a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 boosted to 1,100 hp, running on E-85 fuel. In 2009, Thompson drove the same vehicle to an average of 255.764 mph, hitting 258.410 mph at the end of its run, setting the record for its engine class in Blown Fuel Altered Coupes.

But during this year's attempt, the nose of the Mustang generated enough lift to launch the car end over end across the salt flats for nearly a quarter of a mile.

Despite the violence unleashed by the crash, Thompson suffered no injuries, a testament to modern safety engineering for high-speed vehicles. Even the iPhone 4 in the front of his suit emerged unscathed.

From here.

That is one hell of a good roll cage. drat.

loving amazing driving by that idiot. Has he EVER driven his corvette in even slightly wet weather? It looks like he doesnt even roll into the throttle, he just mashes it, you can see all the rain being kicked up by his rear tires. Somehow he actually gets out of it, im guessing the girls slammed on the brake and didnt smash into the end of his car.

Pretty unique way to get off the highway "OH HERES MY EXIT! *makes sure he touches all 5 lanes*"

Judging by how the cars in front move off, it looks like they reacted way late (because they're inexperienced/inattentive/distracted drivers). Lucky there wasn't a strike. Though it's crazy how it looks like there's no hood in front of the windshield. The vette is insanely close.

The Corvette was still moving faster than the girls when it lost control, so that bought them a little time. I'm impressed that the girl didn't try to swerve into the divide to avoid the vette.

I dont know how you can gauge how quickly they react based on how fast the cars in front of them recede into the distance?? thats like saying "the corvette was red so they were probably reacting late"

seems like they reacted on time to me. The guy in the vette who would usually be considered the "attentive" driver in AI because hes likely driving a stick and has a nice sports car is the loving inexperienced one. Id much rather have the girls in their SUV next to me on a highway than that shithead who almost wrecked his c6 that still has dealer plates on it.

If you look closely I believe it had dealer plates so it very well could be a new to vettes driver.

I'm looking at the phase in which the cars in front are not moving relative to the camera, and the phase when they suddenly recede into the distance as the camera is slowing down in the braking car. This change happens way after the Corvette drifts over into their lane.
