I just had to correct this person.

I don't even know why I waste my time on uninformed comments like this. I guess it's so less lies get spread around...

The "car" in question, for anyone who doesn't yet know about it:

So far this thing has been mostly vaporware. In fact, it might be more vaporware than that Devel Sixteen, despite the latter's outrageous horsepower claims. At least that has been seen driving under it's own power:

I have read some ridiculous YouTube comments.

Hahah, haven't we all? It's so easy to waste time laughing and face-palming at all the stupid things said on YouTube. I love it (hate it) when two or thee people get into a political/religious/ego argument in the comments of some random video and go on for days. Some people take comments on the internet way too seriously. It's amazing. Half the time now I just don't bother commenting on some things because I realize my comment isn't going to matter anyway.

It's the 4th grade gym class locker room of the internet.

Just like most concept cars. I have no idea why the Tuatara isn't out yet, but the last time SSC made incredible claims about their car they delivered. So they aren't 100% vaporware.

Hah! I thought the exact same thing. It's a thing companies love to do on unfinished cars. I remember seeing the Cadillac Sixteen when it was touring at auto shows. It had a giant cloth board placed just beneath the window line to hide the rest of the unfinished interior. At least with that one they went and finished the rest of it eventually.

Oh wow, this is news to me!

That was true at the time. They do have renders of the interior now though.

Agreed, but I think the stakes are so much higher now. Carbon Fiber chassis is a must to maintain rigidity at those speeds, and you need extensive aerodynamic testing. Then there's the whole 'where can you find a transmission that can handle that much torque, but be light and compact?" problem.

Gone are the days when you could just throw a >1000 HP engine in an aluminum space frame and set speed records.

Locker rooms in fourth grade?? The only time I changed my clothes in school back then was after I wet my pants. :P

But yes, that's also the prime age for spewing Youtube-worthy nonsense.

I was going to say middle school, but that's too mature for youtube.

Found a confuse person or a troll who is doing it wrong in a 0 to 60 test video.
