Super Car

How would it feel zooming across the earth's surface at speeds up to 260mph?
Very crazy, I would say. The forces when this happens are extremely high. It takes a lot of force to keep a car on the ground going that fast. Car designers have spent countless hours designing these cars to be pushed to the limit. Engineers also spend countless hours designing the motors that can push these cars to reach those rediculous speeds. For example, the SSC Ultimate Aero has a top speed of 257mph. A 0-60mph time of 2.7 seconds. It has a Twin-Turbo V8 Engine with 1183 hp to push it to that those speeds. Along with this the car has un-countable air flow vents to fan the motor and keep the car on the road. Although this car the "SSC Ultimate Aero" is super nice and has a gnarly motor, it also has a starting price of $654,400... I think I may be sticking with my Hyundai Tiburon... for now.
