ah yes.....power is nothing w/o control. but is that not based on skill of the driver? but yeah, I wonder what it is like to go from zero to Mach 25 in 8.5 minutes under 7.5 million pounds of thrust

It's too fast when you can accelerate to the point where your body can't take the forces and you black out....at that point just cut back a couple of miles/sec^2.
