It almost happened too. A sidewind "gust" (10mph or so) sent him across both lanes and almost off the road. There is zero margin for error at those speeds. Here is what a tire failure looks like at 200mph on an empty lakebed with nothing to hit...

It works great for naming files/folders/backups in a computer, they get automatically organized.
Other than that, Day/Month/Year makes much more sense.
America is like a kid that hated being told what to do. "Fuck that, I'll have ice cream before the meal when I grow up, you'll see, father"

Internet sleuths take down the SSC Tuatara's 316-mph speed record
America's Shelby Supercars has more or less abandoned its world's fastest car claim after eagle-eyed YouTubers pointed out a number of embarrassing, possibly costly discrepancies in its video of the SSC Tuatara making a claimed 316-mph two-way run.

That acceleration from 300mph all the way to the supposed 331mph record couldn't be more fake. Watch videos from Bugatti or Koenigsegg how they squeeze out every last mph/kph during their record runs.
The air resistence at these speeds becomes absolutely insane and power requirments become almost exponential to squeeze out each mph/kph.
Seeing this first time. Can't believe people fell for this in the first place.

Obligatory
as an american this really annoys the hell out of me. we just had to be "different" at the expense of a massive inconvenience. though I remember listening to an episode of JRE and apparently schools tried to go to the metric system and people just weren't having it

Lbs for weight, Farenheit for temperature, metric for measurement.

Veyron? Bugatti has the Chiron and other crazy shit like the SS300 and the 1200kg 1850bhp Bolide super hyper car.

What an as$hole.
Buhahahaha...
In reality they maxed out around 226mph during that record run. And they have the guts to tell that the editors used wrong footage (although the laptop suggests otherwise). Or that the record was set and numbers back that up. Bunch of crooks.
Explains that insane acceleration. Felt like it easily had 50+mph left in it. On a better day it might set a record but on that day it was hilariously far from it.
Either a deliberate messing with gps calibration or simply unintentional fuck up?
