yeah but do the math instead of making stuff up. the police does not use apaches and other military choppers but rather regular stuff. a google search vields MD 530F and MD 500E as two common models for the police in USA and their VNA is 282km/h or 175mph. an amd gt for example has 315km/h vmax for the 4door and 325kmh for gt black so 196 and 202mph respectively. already a bit faster than the helicopter and they are certainly not the fastest on the market. musk promised 400kmh for the roadster so itll maaaaybe reach 300 but still faster

Yeah but you can't drive 300 on a freeway swerving between cars. Helicopters don't have this problem

Yeah because they don’t have to keep jumping over things.

I’m guessing the eleventy billion horse power sure helps on the straight ways for the musks rocket jumper thingy.

Thats not continous, and never will be unless we discover a new chemical mixture.

Its a one and done thing.

They’re pretty fast. And hauling all that extra surely isn’t good for vehicle weight.
