Mach5: Ultimate speed machine

Jan 26, 2008

If you grew up watching Speed Racer pilot his Mach 5 on TV, then you too would have wished to own that car.

With 1000 hp at 8500 rpm and a top speed of 480 km/h, Racer X and the others wouldn't have a chance to catch me on the drive home from the show.

If stuck in rush hour traffic, I have my Jump Jacks ready to be activated.

For safety, my bulletproof polymer cockpit and tire shields would help.

Now if only I could build an invisibility cloak to save me from that speeding ticket and car impound.
