It's already been established that Chuck Norris can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head.

I don't think much testing needs to be done on him in that regard!

Yes, guys, this car is real. I mean, the Bugatti Veyron, the most overhyped, overdesigned, overengineered, overbuilt, overpowered car ever built, a car that took 50+ engineers over 2 years just to design the clutch, has 1001 hp and can do 0 to 60 in 2.9 or something. So what's so impossible about a movie studio building in a matter of months a 1,700 hp car complete with jump jacks, saw blades and cramptons that can do 0-60 in 0.6 seconds just for a movie? Of course it's possible.

If it needs crampons, does that mean it can bleed for seven days without dying?

I knew someone would eventually make that joke.

Actually, it's more like 3-4 days on average.

The story is just that ... a story, he even admits it in the last sentence of the second last paragraph "As for driving a real Mach 5, I'll just have to keep pretending. "

If everyone read the article they'd know

Cool! It'll outcorner a Formula 1 car!
6 gs, it'll out corner a fuxing fighter jet.

If this car were real it would not be able to operated by a human being.
