To be fair, I did say “high enough.” Get it beyond the atmosphere and it’ll easily hit 420mph. Just know there won’t really be anything left for your insurance company to appraise.
Evil Kanieval the stuntman figured out the terminal velocity of a human to be around 80 mph or so I believe, i imagine a car would be same or less, although it would probably fall engine side first?
Damn, there goes my pride in my reading comprehension skills. Still pretty dang close when all you have to do is change ‘no commercially available car’ to ‘no reasonably available car’.
If they were going that fast, they wouldn’t be getting a simple citation that could be resolved in traffic court, that’s straight to jail levels of recklessness…
A Bugatti Chiron can do 440km/h. If the 100 litre tank was filled at the beginning, then the car will travel for 9 minutes at top speed before running out of gas.
Lmao ain’t no commercial car in existence that can go 420mph. Cop saved you a ticket if you’re not an idiot about things.
I would expect that any commercial car can go 420mph if you drop it from high enough.
No, terminal velocity is somewhere around 110mph I think. Unless you’re talking about sending it into space.

I caught that and I tried to acknowledge it. But I think the implied part was that vehicles won’t go that fast under their own power.
Sure, that’s why what I said was funny. 😉
Ok now I need to run a cfd sim to check the terminal velocity of a car…
What’s the outcome?
I unfortunately don’t have a cfd program, nor the skills to use one yet. Should by next year, definitely looking forward to it.
I need a ‘remind me in a year’ feature!

If not, there’s always trebuchets.
There are few discussions I have in my daily life that can’t be made more entertaining by adding “If not, there’s always trebuchets.”
Thank you for enriching my future conversations!
If it doesn’t work out, there’s always trebuchets.
Might be km/h
Nope, still doesn’t work. The fastest commercially available cars don’t go much faster than 220mph, which is about 350kmh.
According to that list, the fastest is 295 mph ≈ 474 km/h

that’s faster than most helicopters, if they’ve got a long enough straight, they’re getting away lol
If they’ve got the gas for it.

good point
i guess if I’ve got Bugatti money I’ve probably got money for a helicopter of my own, why the hell am I going 440kph in traffic lmao
Is this bait or did you just not realise its a joke (fake scenario) ?
Neither, lmao. Sometimes a good discussion can be had by simply following through on silly premises.
