I guess we might as well retire the ACK Attack.

The designer was on this site about three years ago looking for 250 mph tires.

I wouldn't quite get the cosmoline out yet! Doesn't it really P--ss you off when someone that has absolutely no idea of what it takes to run big speeds suddenly comes up with some outlandish vehicle and claims it will go 600 KMH!! That thing wouldn't go 600 KMH if you dropped it of a cliff with a butt full of JATO rockets hooked to the ass end! The sporty car guys love doing this, they come up with some swoopy concept car, claim it has 600 hps and then claim it will go 250!! Remember the V10 "motorcycle" that Chrysler/Mercedes did a couple of years ago, claimed it would go 325! BS is BS no matter how good you make it smell or look!!!

Rex, Rex, Rex, 

Relax, man! You engineer- types shouldn't excite yerselfs over idiocy!

Remember F or was it E or L Elizabeth Carmichal (sp?), the transvestite that promoted some totally bizzare auto 30 years ago making outrageous claims? It actually showed  up at the LA Auto show.

Maybe she's resurfaced with a new project . Every generation or so it happens.

Relax,  You're safe as a kitten.  That thing has no roll cage.  Or anything else required to go 600kph.  Whatever that is.  At the current rate of exchange its probably around a dollar eighty five.

No matter how good or bad the work done on the design/build of this vehicle, nothing can justify the outrageous lies in the advertising material on their web site!
