143mph = 235k, so it's close i guess

I TOOK A NEW VW W8 UP SPEC MODEL FOR A DRIVE AND THAT WOULD DEFINATLY DO 250K PLUS , AND FARK IT HANDLED AND THE ACCELARTION WAS REAL GOOD FOR A CAR YOUD BE IN TROUBLE ON A 400 IF IT TRIED TO CATCH YOU, AND IN THE RAIN IT WOULD BE GAME OVER, IT ACCELERATED THE SAME IN THE WET, NO CHANGE FROM $120,000 IS THE ONLY PROBLEM

Not enough to get a cigar.
Maybe 250 indicated on the speedo, I'd accept that.

But no Falcon's gonna do 250 unless you drop it off the top of the Sky Tower.

Even so, I think terminal velocity (ignoring weight, drag, etc....) is somewhere around 225 ish? Or thereabouts. But if I'm wrong I don't give a shit haha, I coasted though science doing JUST enough to SCRAPE by....

Now you're just the type of person who hangs around alt.pave.the.earth bitching about how there's not enough limestone to achieve the goal, aren't you.

well, THAT's obvious, considering the terminal velocity of an object is related to both it's weight and drag... hell, are there even any other factors? (come on, physics buffs?)

One other thing you ain't counting on - thrust out the arse end.

I've been in a HQ 1-tunna at 250kph.... it wasnt stock tho... 454 and 4 speed auto, 9in diff, custom suspension.. engine cost the guy in the region of $20,000... then the dick pulled it apart to paint and rewire it and I never saw it going again... drugs'll do that to ya (my brother the moron)

a free-falling car is supposed to generate thrust!?!

How many coppers are in it

Nah I was being silly. If you shoved a jet engine up its arse you could get it to fall faster.

Oh and Aaron - it doesn't fall any faster no matter how many people are in it. To my knowledge coppers are no more or less aerodynamic than any others of us.
