    Simply amazing. 415 Miles per hour on a car without jet propelled engines. A simply amazing feat, I wonder if the video will surface on youtube, I'd love to see it. The interesting fact is that this car was nearly 30 years in the making, starting in the 1980's.

    he said "It's a wonderful feeling." and I know it is, but I think he is not the fastest in the world, maybe he set his own reord right? and the funny thing is ive been watching and our ago a person set his own record on raching.

    415 miles per hour is that speed which one cannot imagine to reach without jet propelled engines even in his dreams but this miracle has done by an Utah guy.even a single mistake at that speed could easily killed him but luckily he didn't and has set a record.but i think that its not a world record.is it?

    Well i agree with you that it is not a world record since the world record's driver speed is much more than this one...
