Bullet's acceleration is 0 feet/sec to 800-2500 feet/sec in cut up 2d !!! no living element can stay to tell the tale that acceleration !!! yet, rocket automobile can exceed better than 1100 feet/sec at its max speed.

    We do have the new Nissan Leaf, which is a huge step for us. It's 100% electric. And we do have jet packs, they're just not open to the public, they had it on the Macy's day parade in NYC.
