I can't really say too much for fear of giving away the answer, but here's a couple of things that might help...
The terminal speed at the standing mile is 189mph
It takes 450 metres to stop from 200mph
Crap!!! I thought I read 0-60 LOL :lol:

As a slight aside, the 0-60 figure is 3.65 seconds
21.5 seconds? :huh:
16.3 seconds?
You're overestimating its abilities

I've been up since about 11pm last night (7 hours or so) cos I had to write an essay :(
I think Samurai has won, he's within 4 tenths of a second
The actual time is 47.20 seconds. The 0-200 time is ~ 35.5 seconds, the 200-0 time is 11.19 seconds.
What can I say, I was impressed :)
edit: here's a couple of clips of the car in action:
Video 1
Video 2
If you've never seen these videos before (Stefan Roser driving the Yellowbird at the Nordschleife), then you're in for a treat :o
47.2 or 48 seconds spot on. Thank you. I would like to thank my friends, family *sob* my brother, my... I'm sorry I can't go on. i love you all.

I disagree with your figures :huh:
add a brick wall into the calculation and you get a total of about 35.6 seconds :01: :frusty:
Not that fast then, a Honda CBR900RR Fireblade can do 0-140mph in 10.6 seconds :D
My bike can stand toe to toe with it over a qauter mile :D

Why would you want to go from a standstill to 200 miles per hour, and then stop?

It is kind of pointless, in and of itself, but it is a recognized measuring stick. ;)

Bikes are fast at accelerating, Jonno, I'll give you that, but they're a little lacking at braking and going round corners ;)
