Think the 199mph top speed of the new Ferrari 458 Spider is a respectable clip at which to knock along? That's nothing. So the 268mph you can get to if you're lucky enough to test out the top speed on a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is quick, right? Wrong again.
Well, wrong again if you're George Poteet, who recently piloted (driven is such an inappropriate word here) Speed Demon, a Bonneville Blown Fuel Streamliner, to 426mph on the famous Bonneville salt flats in Utah.
Pushing Speed Demon to more than 7 miles per minute is a 5.7-litre V8 with twin Turbonetics 'Demon' turbochargers and more than 2200bhp. Which is quite a lot of power. But then this is quite a lot of speed.
And despite the wide expanse of Bonneville's ability to sap the sensation of speed, this in-car footage still feels scarily fast...
