The only other shock mount repair kits I've seen are things like this that have such great features as "actual metal" and "yeah you should probably use bolts and not pop rivets"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf62Gc8cNUs Currently watching this, privately owned Back To The Future III DeLorean. Never knew they used Beetle running gear for the "action" car, but I suppose it's all simple, tough kit that will work properly for bashing about in a desert.

KakerMix posted:two hundred and eighty four miles per hour Being very quiet since lately every time they brag about a record, Koenigsegg pokes them in the eye. They bragged about doing 0-400-0 in 40 someodd seconds in mid september on their fancy test track. 2 weeks later Koenigsegg did it on a decommissioned runway in crappy shape in the mid 30s. Bugatti stopped bragging about that spec immediately after.

I read an interview with the dude that designed it and he struggled to say anything other that it was 'interesting' so it's safe to say that someone higher up asked them to do it.

Is the "slow" speedup just to make sure everything is cool and traction is ok? I don't get why he doesn't punch it until the second to last gear. Most top speed runs I've seen, they're on the gas the entire time and not putting around through 3/4 of the gears.

A car with the power to pull that hard through 230mph will probably very happily blow the loving tires off at 100mph.

Watch the 0-400kph-0 video if you want raw acceleration, this was purely a top speed run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1g07RpTPFE&t=105s

You have to drive round most of Motegi Twin Ring circuit to get to the Honda museum...!! https://jalopnik.com/the-honda-collection-hall-is-a-salute-to-ingenuity-and-1820141525 Also take a look at those cars and tell me with a straight face they make anything near as cool as any of those loving cars today.
