Seems like this belongs in the "Thoughts: fast car slow, or slow car fast" thread?

Can't wait for the Slowtwitch braintrust to pick apart the aerodynamics and complain about the weight.

This project is really cool. The article isn’t quite right, though...the EJ2000 jet engine doesn’t deliver 135K HP; there’s a rocket engine that actually delivers more than half the thrust.

Trivia Question...without googling, does anyone know why this car is called the Bloodhound?
