> Not much faster land vehicles than those.
Top fuels top out around 350 mph. The land speed record is 760 (manned, for unmanned it's a rocket sled exceeding mach 8).
The land speed record has been above 350 since 1938: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railton_Special https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railton_Special
There are in fact a fair number of much faster land vehicles.
- Ralo 4y agoYes, their top speed is much much faster. But put that same vehicle on a 1/4 mile race track, racing a top fuel dragster. The top fuel dragster produces around 5g's at launch, the top speed cars are very very slow to build up speed. So much so, they usually require a pilot vehicle just to start them, like you trying to start pedaling your bicycle in 5th gear. You'll want a push. It's a different type of racing. > Not much faster land vehicles than those. Its a poor choice of words, perhaps 'quick' is a better word?
