Seriously bad ass Supra, and love the "Renegades of Funk" clip you posted Randy.

Here's a former co-worker of mine. His name is Scott Palmer from Springfield, MO and he now races top fuel. This sis a clip of Scott at the local hometown 1/8 track making a pass for the crowd.

This is a guy from over on the Corvette Forum that had a 920 hp Supercharged Corvette. Well, it's now a Twin Turbo. It's a break in video, so it doesn't really show him getting on it. Pretty sick.

Nothing tops rally cars! Not really in all-out speed...but in relative speed...like relative to spectators who stand 1 ft away from a car sliding through a turn at 80 mph. Also, they are driving a street-legal vehicle on public roads. This is still on my "bucket list"

To give you an example of this speed.....The target is traveling at ~6 times faster than the max velocity of a bullet from a hunting rifle (17600 ft/sec or 3.3 miles per second)

The interceptor is just slightly slower.

The intercept happened at a collision rate of nearly 20,000 mph  :grin_nod:

STS-118 launch.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMSVg6Vbb98&feature=related

After SRB (solid rocket boosters) seperate, the Shuttle's main engines burn 1,000 lbs. of fuel per second.

5:48 seconds into the clip, the Shuttle is traveling 8,000 mph.

7:00 minutes in, the Shuttle is traveling 11,000 mph at 348,480 ft.

7:50 in, the Shuttle is traveling 4 miles per second, and will accelerate to 5 miles per second when throttling the main engines back, or 15,000 mph.
