I KNOW, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!!!

I'm beginning to think we are arguing the same point and getting lost in the semantics.

What is it that you are trying to state exactly? I took your comments to mean that coefficient of grip higher than 1.0 was not obtainable to which I which I stated that the theoretical limits of what smooth rubber and smooth concrete (asphalt, whatever) does not match the reality due to the interlocking of the materials, even on the macro level. Of course on some microscopic level interlocking occurs but I don't think that's what either of us was talking about. Now it seems that you are agreeing with that. What's happening exactly?

I was saying through non-adhesive friction coefficients greater than one are virtually impossible. You were talking about stuff banging together, so figured you were talking about non-adhesive friction (where the small imperfections in objects mash against each other and resist movement).

I AM talking about the microscopic level. I'm talking about adhesion!

"Adhesion is the tendency of certain dissimilar molecules to cling together due to attractive forces."

The molecules cling together and the two objects are temporarily fused together.

That's what I'm saying! Are you saying that's what you meant all along or are you just repeating it back to me for some other purpose?

I understand "what" we are talking about here, I'm just not sure I understand the time line and your way of delivering it.

That is a bad-ass car! However, that will NEVER ever reach 300mph, being convertible or even with a top on. As for the $450K price,

. If all written will be true, the price would be much higher, considering:

Quote:

For hardware, TranStar proposes a 572 multifuel (petrol/methanol/hydrogen/ethanol) twin turbo racing unit from Nelson Racing Engines (builders of the 1800hp Mosler Red Devil) which is capable of spewing out a seemingly insurmountable 1,491 kW (2,000 bhp / 2,028 PS). Peak torque is said to be 2,710Nm (2,000 lb-ft) running through a TranStar/Mendeola 6-speed transmission.

The outer body is made from carbon fibre, while a high-strength 4130 Chromoly Steel chassis forms the inner structure.

Those ain't cheap stuff right there. $450K won't be enough to cover the costs.
