As hard as you try?
Rocke tries every day but fails.
Why would someone need almost 1300bhp at all?
Asking that question proves how little of a car fan you are.

It was a rhetoric question.
Absolute power corrputs absolutely.
It was a sarcastic statement ;)

Well, remember that there record was set on a public road. I've driven on that road and I'm pretty sure it's no where near as nice as the groomed high speed facilities that the other cars are making their run on, and SSC did mention they're making a trip over to europe to have a go on one of those and see what happens.
