fast foward to about half way and youll see what im talking about


watch the whole thing if you like cars as i do.

Damn his accept (though it sounds cool) I can't figure if he is saying can or can't see....

Do you understand him?

Oh wait, now I see it. He says can't. right?

Oh wait, now I see it. He says can't. right?

Yea you cant see it because its following the curvature of the earth

and for you lazy FE shits

hes at a test track in germany, and theres a perfectly flat, 5 1/2 mile straight  and you cant see the other end because it follows the curvature of the earth

Or the road is not level.

Anythings possible.

This thread is now about cars.

Although my ultimate dream car is a customized 2001 Chevrolet Camaro with a 500 HP Lingenfelter engine built in, I wouldn't mind having one of those Bugatti's. Although, Germany seems to be the only place in the world to really take advantage of 253MPH. And I doubt you can get that even on the Autobahn. I think the fastest anyones gone on that road was just over 200MPH and that was in a Porsche.

But my Camaro would smoke that too...

Or the road is not level.

i think they're smart enough to make a level road.

if they can make a wicked car like that they can make a level road.

and if it wasnt level wouldnt it mean that it would have to start on the top of a hill?

i didnt see a hill
hey the government
did yo usee a hill?

Or the road is not level.

None level surface = death.  But the gradual curve do to the Earth doesn't equal death.  407 km/h is really fast.

You'll never convince him it isn't flat unless you go do it yourself.

If the road wasnt level, it would have been much easier to reach the top speed he did

Not level = higher in the middle, among others.

The asphalt would be the same thickness throughout the whole length.

And?

Exactly.  No man made hills in the middle.  It curves in the middle do to the curvature of the Earth.   

Since when did man make the earth?

Since when did man make the earth?

When are you going to stop responding with questions?  Not to mention retarded ones.  Read again, I never said man made the earth, I said man can make hills.  Even 3 year olds know that. 

Why couldn't the road have be made cresting a small natural hill?

Thats a possibility.  Its also a possibility that someone had a heart attack and fell in front the of the asphalt machine. 

I can't believe anyone is falling for this crap. Why do you think the narrator mentions "the curvature of the earth"? So that sheep like you will greedily buy into the round-earth lie. It is all part of the conspiracy folks. Besides, don't forget the track is in Germany, if you look carefully you can see that the landscape is hilly.

The thing was made by professionals to test their prototypes, dude. He said it "they wouldn't want anyone see their prototypes". I don't think, that when you are making something new and better, you would be thinking "hey, let's make a small hill so that people in the future think that the Earth is round."

 

OMG! What an awesome test drive. Such an unassuming car, would love to take run a speed-trap with that thing

I didn't say it was done to trick people about the shape of the earth.  Perhaps they just didn't have the funds to level over five miles of track.

LOLOL /DISAGREE.

THE GOVERNMENT ACCORDING TO YOU HAS HELLA MONEY.
THEY CAN AFFORD ANYTHING

BUGATTI HAS HELLA MONEY.
ENOUGH TO MAKE A HELLA FAST CAR.

MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE HERE!!

LOLOL /DISAGREE!!!

Too bad they spent all their money on the car, and didn't put enough into making their track level.

it still doesnt make sence if the track isnt level
they would have been able to reach that speed MUCH faster.
according to your theory they would be going downhill the whole ride.
that would mean much faster speeds at much less time.

In my theory, they would be going uphill for most of the trip.

did you not watch the video?
YOU CANNOT SEE THE END OF THE TRACK
if it were going uphill for most of the ride then i think the track would not seem to dissapear.
nor would the trees surrounding it.

Why can't you see the end of the track?

BECAUSE IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL.

yes but you dont understand

your saying they are traveling upwards

on the incline of the hill
according to that we should see the track traveling up the hill

boy if your going to say all these things you have to think them through

look
if theres a 5 mile track
and the whole time its climbing UP a hill
if we stand at the begining of it
we should be able to see the end
for it is at a much greater height than we are.

What part of "THE END OF THE TRACK IS ON THE OTHER SIDE (THAT WOULD BE THE DOWNHILL SIDE) OF THE HILL" don't you understand?
