I remember seeing a show on land speed cars and the guy the interviewed was saying that it's really a matter about power...that easy. It's a matter of traction to "push" the car faster. The resistance from the air and the power of the engine can overcome the tires. I don't want to be going 250+ and then start spinning the tires! A car need great aero dynamics and I don't think any one of here can throw that kind of maoney at it to do it right.
But yeah I don't think it would be that hard to beat the 242 mark.
