    The car would explode trying to break the sound barrier. Nowhere for the shockwave to go......

    Thrust SSC broke the sound barrier and didn't explode

    I have absolutely no idea... LOL On Land, I sure wouldn't think it's possible though if you want my opinion. If it does start going to that level I think you'll see some pretty new ideas on tires / wheels. Something that will create less drag = friction / heat etc.. Then your text book round thing that just rolls.

    He made Gary Gablich look like a dork. How ever you spell his name.

    The Thrust SSC project used solid aluminum wheels.
    I'll bet it was rough at lower speeds.

    Here are some numbers on the Thrust SSC.
    0 - 600 mph in 16 seconds
    Holds current speed record of 763 mph
    Is currently being refitted with vintage Keystone wheels and fuzzy dice

    Whatever it is that breaks it, I'll bet it has Thru-hull exhaust.
