Do you think that we will ever get 200 mph road cars?
Back in the early days land speed records were set in (1898) 39mph, 41 (1899) 65, 75 (1902)76, 94, (1906),121 (1925),150mph and (1927) 200mph (you start to get the idea) then in 2006 we have a Disel hitting 328mph.
Back in 1902 if you told them that we would all be driving cars capable of 76 mph they would not believe us.
The next big barrier for road cars I see is 200mph with most standard current production cars capable of 100-150. The thing is though do you think this will happen?
Will we get the 2039 plate Ford Focus RS with a top speed of 200 and with improving technology, safety and brakes etc will we see an increase in road speeds which were set when 70mph seemed positively quick!
Going on 100 years will we see cars with SSC speeds of over 700mph on our streets?
