That is impressive.  I like the weird looking aerodynamic bat wings on the back.

     At these speeds it needs ejection seats equipped with parachutes, drivers' side being standard and an optional passenger side if you think you'll be able to get anyone to ride-along at these speeds!

     Now yes, as in the movie Goldfinger where OO7 says: "Ejector seat, your joking!"  ::)  , it might be so, but if at three hundred miles per hour speeds the even better than average human driver there may be a point in time at which they may find themselves just closing their eyes and saying "Oh-Shyt", and at that point the future isn't going to appear very bright; and although bailing out might be only a feeble last ditch effort, it might perhaps be better than none at all!      :-\

Good Grief.  Did you notice how after 200mph, it's like a fire was lit !!! 

Speed picked up drastically after 200mph.  So Cool  8)
