That's insane. Did they say how quick acceleration was going to be? Because no one will ever really have a place to take advantage of a top speed that is theoretically that high. Where would you get tires for that, anyway?

It's a remote control car.  And they didn't say acceleration.

I'm aware that it was a remote control car, but I meant if it were to be an actual vehicle.

I hate when people try to scale speed linearly with their RC cars. After taking into account the change in Reynolds number if you were to scale that little RC car up to full size, 370 mph would be highly unlikely.
