$35 per member, if all 90k participate, should work out

At 400 kph that monster was still pulling strong!

I'm in. We could do a cool SF paint job too.

Here is what it would look like if one of us were driving this beast, but with much more flipping and flying, along with various profanities and non-stop negotiation with the all mighty on please let us live:

One of the only times I can think of, where a TV show got a car mfg to change the car. Stig said it would be a lot more stable with a wing on it & Koenigsegg added it going forward, and the car was still just as fast [and got a footnote on the board 'w/ TG wing'].

Personally I would not want to drive it. At those speeds if anything goes wrong it wont be healthy. Here in Michigan people are always throwing crap out their windows. What would happen if you hit an empty pop can on the road at 250 mph, I suspect it would not be enjoyable. If a tire blew out it would completely total the wheel well and surrounding body work in about 1/4 of a second, so your left with one wheel running on a bare metal rim and 3 other tires with lots of traction. Try and keep that mess going straight and it aint gonna happen unless you are the God of Driving.
I've stopped counting.

Koenigsegg has the benefit of their facility being on a former Swedish airbase. So they have their own private runway for testing. Told my wife, when we hit the big lotto jackpot, a Koenigsegg Agera will be on the shopping list, after the 300SL Gullwing.

Anybody who has driven on the roads in Michigan knows the empty pop can is the last thing you have to worry about. First thing to worry about would be the other drivers. Second, the potholes. Car and Driver’s long term test Corvette suffered 7 bent but repairable wheels, and 3 unrepairable wheels in 40,000 miles. Link Third, deer. And lastly, at 10 cents a pop, when was the last time you saw an empty pop can on the road?
All kidding aside, if could afford a car like that, I could afford the track time.

Pretty incredible if that was literally his first lap around the track ever. Guy at the end seemingly joked that the driver had only done it on PlayStation, but curious if that wasn’t a joke. Crazy stuff, though!

Top Gear tried it years ago, at Laguna Seca. Clarkson did multiple laps trying to match his PlayStation lap time. IIRC he got close, but couldn't do it. He was in an Acura NSX.
