I have taken this car to the salt flats twice,

the first time it wanted to fly @ 140 mph

, but after adding the spoilers and air dam it stayed solid thru 187 mph with a lot more room to go.

Why would it want too fly at 140mph?? - the normal petrol engined variants never did & they had the same aerodynamics (at the front).

Still a pretty mad motor though.

Can you say: "suicide"?

That Darwin award was dismissed by the author, and the Mythbusters team.
