Very cool, I always like seeing land speed cars. Especially those that go absurdly fast with tiny engines.

But...

I guess I expected a little more from a corporate backed team.

A real pioneer in Land Speed racing is Jack Costella and he has helped build a series of cars called the Nebulous Theorem that this Honda seems to borrow from heavily.

This Honda streamliner would fit into the J engine class (Under 750cc). Those records are currently set at 266mph (Fuel) and 269mph (Gas) by the Costella & Yacoucci team with a 700cc engine.

So, very cool. But I like the amateurs' car a bit better.
