Congrats to you and the team. Was a pleasure meeting you all at WOS 2024

Interesting vehicle choice for the job. I thought I remembered an interview with Duntov where he said the C2 had enough lift at speed to be a bad airplane instead of a car. You've definitely addressed that and the split window was my dream car as a kid for the longest time, so fun to see regardless!

8500rpm shift point? Sounds awesome whatever it is.

236 mph is fast don't get me wrong. I just thought it would be faster. Cheers and congrats!

The salt and lack of objects going by makes things seem slower. I did 100 and seemed like highway speeds.
