My son just sent me this and i was amazed. I have never seen anything like it. The driver walks you through the important stuff like our tires will last 55 minutes at this speed. wow, fun. Wish i had one.

I used WMP and the file menu open a URL:

Some will argue that the SSC Ultimate Aero is now the world's fastest production car. Some will say the requirment of special gas disqualifies it. Just to add an update to the arguement.

There's no argument to this. Shelby SSC Ultimate Aero uses Premium Unleaded - 91 Pump Octane.

:whistle:

Both are fast, yet only a few will drive them that fast. Period.

Really, that's not an argument. The whole of Europe gets 91 RON as a minimum. The USA is about the only pace I can think of where 85 is average, afaik. And really, you could retune the engine to work better on whatever you're using over the pond, and it wouldn't hurt performance much. In fact, you could raise compression a bit, and lean the fuel mix a bit, and you're firing on all cylinders. (A Chemical Engineer at an Oil Refinery explained that for an average Joe's car, premium fuel is not worth the extra cost.)

But 91 is mass-produced. It really does count.

Agreed, where are you going to find a stretch of road to hit their top speed? Legally? And now what, you have proved you can go fast in a straight line. Yippee. Maybe race it on a course? That is one expensive piece of equipment to be risking (600k or 1.5m). Who and what would you race against? Do they have a rich prick racing league?

Well, that's the main thing. The Veyron is not designed to race. It is a fast cruiser. The McLaren F1 was designed to be raced (and was), but the Veyron was designed to show that luxury and hyperspeed aren't mutually exclusive. Doesn't mean it wold win a race against an Enzo or something.

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By matthiew · Posted

      Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
