ryoder 1,590 #3 June 15, 2007 As Tim Allen would say: "Ooh...Ooh...Ooh! Argh! Argh! ARGH!" "At this speed the tires will only last 15 minutes. But that's OK, because the fuel will run out in 12 minutes." Oh, yeah. Really comforting.

People regularly skydive to within about 12 to 15 seconds of death on a regular basis. WE think nothing of it, but let me assure you that some people don't find that number comforting either.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That car is awesome. Quote It's no wonder Michael Schumacher retired, he's slower than me!! So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

And how much variation is there in that "15 minutes" number? I'm sure it is a bell curve. What percentage fail in 10 minutes? When I leave the plane, I know where the ground is.

Then again... a guy that has a wallet deep enough to afford a Bugatti Veyron, wouldn't choke after a run like this one. And to relate this to skydiving... The BV is twice as fast as a regular freefall. It's a hell of a car. Yves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
