Please no street racing
See what happens to the pros!
His parachute didn't even work.
Even under controlled conditions speed is dangerous.
Learn from a instructor at the track if you must, but please stay off the streets.

Racing beat RX7 Bonneville Attempt
I would presume that the afficianados on this site would know that was the Racing beat attempt to set a land speed record in its class in (I think) 1993. That attempt obviously failed at something approaching 230mph.
They re-did the paint job in black, made some minor aerodynamic changes, and came back to set a record. Black cars are always faster.
Those salt flats act like sandpaper at 200+ mph.
Info on the racing beat website in the 'Photos' section.

Wow. Talk about a perfect example of why street cars just cannot safely reach those speeds without the aerodynamics to keep it on the ground. What I found more impressive was that even after flipping over and spinning around the car was STILL running. Betcha if that were a piston engine it'd be toast at that point.
