It was an MIT professor who said it was "physically impossible" for a wheel driven vehicle to exceed 150 MPH in a standing start 1/4 mile.

And as stated above, literally before he put his slide rule away a car called the "Bustle Bomb" went 151 MPH!!

How many of you remember the car? It had a Caddy up front driving through a 3 speed trans and an Olds in the back with direct drive.

Or maybe the Olds was up front and the Caddy in the back....what the hell, I'm old!!
