+Chad w there's a huge difference between watching the speedo on a video and on the track. When I'm on the track(or anyone else with a car fast enough that you don't have time to glance at speed) there's 3 things I'm focusing on. The strip in front of me, my shift light and oil pressure light. So no, we don't just watch the speedo unless it's an in car view. If you had a fast car you wouldn't even comment on the subject. The slip I get at the end of the run tells me exactly what my speed was. Which is usually between 125-132mph. Enough said

If reliability & gearing wasn't a factor, those cars would keep going well past 500 by the second mile. I'm kinda shocked no one has tried, but also 10,000 horsepower is hard to make reliable to fit in a relatively tiny engine.
