If we ever invent time travel, or if it's possible, they should go back in time, get someone from the 1800s who thought 20mph was too fast, and put them in this jet car.

[slckby]

3:07 "right foot control the throttle pedal with a total of a 100.000hp" and every petrolheads just wet themselves...

[MJohonez]

How is he the only person in history that hasn't had the opportunity to hear a car create a sonic boom? Pretty sure I didn't get that opportunity either.

[charliecom]

[jdmbeats]

Imagine traveling at the speed of a bullet. Andy Green the Bullet Man!!!

[billklacks]

00:47 never knew that’s how jet engines worked...

[pepethefrog]

Imagine how much you have to train to get used to that acceleration

[jaks]

763 that is nearly 13 miles in 1 minute.

[johnd]

The coolest thing about this kind of record is that there really is no limit. The ocean is the limit.

[lguthrie]

Imagine just walking through the desert and you suddenly just disappear out of existence

[ecbadboy]

So it’s basically a jet, very close to the ground, with wheels in the body. Nice!

[AgentJayZ]

0:26 ...Maybe according to Guinness the X-15 went 2, 905, but according to the US Air Force, it went over 4, 500 miles per hour.
NASA's page claims 4, 520. In interviews, pilot Pete Knight, who flew the record setting run, claims 4, 550.

[richardleroy]

[GeneralG]

You know it's serious when a car needs a pilot

[mikebtrfld]

Got out of my taxi at the Peppermill in Reno 1997. Thrust SSC was sitting on it's trailer after breaking the sound barrier. I was speechless as I looked it over. Thoroughly blasted with dirt.

[chuckprice]

That definitely deserves a Thumbs Up!!

[aspenrebel]

763 mph? That's about how fast I have to go to get away from my ex-wife.
