'cos of the tedium... Mind you, F1 wasn't far from that a couple of years back, when I stopped watching.
I think there is some daft annual thing where people put tiny NA diesel lawnmower engines in balsawood frames with cycle wheels and then go as far as they can on 1l of fuel. Normally mentioned in the cheap press with '1700mpg british car wins endurance race' type of headline.
Tedium? That never stopped anyone. Hell, people watch golf tournements on TV.
That sounds like fun, actually.

I said I was done with this but thought I'd share with the world what I just found while clearing out my spamcatcher e-mail address.
Spaketh Burgerman in e-mail:
">> Its accellerating harder at 150 than the veyron can off the line!
Approximately yes."
How 'bout that. Yet another instance of you saying what you're swearing up and down you never said.
Look. You claimed that the comparison was laughable. Now it seems that you were a bit wrong.
You can pick bits of sentences out of huge posts all you like, it does not alter the fact that the veyron is outgunned at all speeds by the "laughable" vauxhall. Right up to and including its top speed.
It's more than simply "picking apart sentences". You make all this puffery and noise about comprehension of what a car can do blah blah blah etc. , and then demonstrate that you have no earthly idea. And then waste bandwidth trying to backtrack.
Btw, yes, I'm fully aware of how fast a top-fueler is and they too make the big part of their speed/time in the very early stages and experience diminishing returns as they go down the track.
Unless of course they happen to be going around corners.
Btw, you've never actually seen these two cars race at over 200. AFAIK, only one of them has actually proven it's stable and roadworthy at those speeds. Of course we're talking about a tin can some guy shoved a big engine into in his garage -vs- $1.5 million worth of engineering.
Your post said straight line. No corners. Now we have corners?
Again you cut all the stuff you didnt like and are clutching at straws. The veyron is slower accelerating by miles at ALL speeds and would never pass the vauxhall at any point on the extended straight run that you asked about when you claimed it was laughable!
No amount of picking at the huge thread that you keep cutting is ever going to change that. You may worship the veyron in some religous way ignoring the facts as religous nuts do but the vauxhall is simply much faster.
