It's capable of 250mph. I wonder if that is in a straight line or with a little crabbing?

Interesting... New London MN. Not that far from me.

They just posted this...

***Hi everyone, we apologize it was never our intention to be misleading. It has come to our attention that there are questions on the vehicle title. This listing was created for a private seller and we are currently in contact with him to sort out the confusion. When we created the listing it was to the best of our knowledge and we assure you that we will get to the bottom of this. What we do know right now is that this vehicle was in an accident in 2011 and there was damage. The current owner went through extensive repairs and upgrades and the car is completely operational. As soon as we have the definite details we will update the listing accordingly. Thank you for your patience and for those that have contacted with questions.***

Haha looks as if a few of us went down the same road.

There's a fair bit of back pedalling going on and a bit of "distancing" as well!.

"Yes this car was in an accident in 2011. I'm not sure about the details, I am listing this car for my husband's coworker. (WTF?) I have reached out to him to get further information about the accident as well as the repairs that have been made. As soon as I know more I will update. Thank you for your interest."<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w

Hey Mike, I reckon my Smart car will go 250 if you dropped it from a chopper from 10,000 ft too. It's debatable which would be the safer vehicle to be in at the time..

Terminal velocity of a car is closer to 90mph... So, no it wouldn't.

I knew that, I was just testing Mike...

But which would be the safest to be sitting in?

Probably on the ground watching, pointing and commenting, "well look at that dumbass!"

Keith1 · Nov 13, 2015

Hmm well that was a fail on my part. I was really hoping you'd say you'd rather be in the Smart. Never mind, the moment has now passed by..

The Chopper, and even those are risky!

AJ Foyt hit the wall at Indy during practice and was taken to the infield care center to be checked out. They wheeled him out on a gurney towards a copter. AJ asked "what are you doing?" They answered "taking you to Methodist for x rays" AJ got up off the gurney and told the medics "Hell no, you can get killed in one of THOSE!!!"

And especially if bailing out while flying inverted...

Seem no-one wants to drive the SPF @ 250 mph. What could possibly go wrong? :shifty:

YerDugliness · Nov 13, 2015

Given what I have heard about the aerodynamics of the GT40, you could end up flying inverted :stunned:

Cheers??? Probably not...

i got a reply back and at least she was sort of honest.

"Hi there,

Yes, from my knowledge this car has been in an accident but has been fixed. I am listing for my husband's coworker and have reached out to him about the details of the accident and what repairs have been made. The moment that I hear from him I will update."

Its a scam. That's what my brother's mother's son told me?

Same reply I received as well. Now the listing has ended. They were trying to scam people for sure.
