I don't think that any mod that makes a car's lap times worse necessarily "ruins" it. If there are people with similar tastes in the drag racing crowd they probably consider half the mods that make cars corner better to "ruin it." Not to mention the offroad crowd...
At about 150 aerodynamic forces like to lift the front wheels off the ground on cars that aren't specifically setup (spoilers and airdams) to go that fast.
Maybe on certain older designs, you rarely see that on 80s and later cars. On modern cars if there are any lift problems, it's always at the back.
That doesn't match my experience from driving with an independently verified GPS speed...if anyone is selling a street-legal car with an inaccurate speedo, there are some standards bodies who would like to be notified...
not really, no. In that amount of time, a lot of cars can do 0-100. New hybrid mclaren will do 0-60 in 2.8, but can't remember what it's 0-100 is, but it does a standing quarter mile in 10.2 seconds at 145mph
So you're saying it's not impressive because it's not as quick as the top-tier, 7-digit-price hypercars?
Simon Sugar, chief executive of Amscreen, the firm which sells the technology, has admitted it has connotations of science fiction, but is looking to increase its reach further.

This sounds like an awesome way to give yourself a monopoly on illicit access to these items, imagine all the cheat codes you could plant in the software.
At first I thought you misunderstood what I meant by "Unabomber option" but then I realized the mistake is mine - khallow is arguing for fascism, not libertarianism. I suppose that's what you were trying to point out by analogy.
System size can't be larger that 125% of a customer's normal use
Over what period? In the long run it might be worth it to leave some AC units running in an open garage for the month before you set up your panels...tell your EV-owning friends they can charge at your place too;-)
It is bullshit. They buy back power for a tiny fraction of the price they sell it, just enough that it makes more sense to sell the energy to them than to bleed it off through a resistor bank.
Ultrasonic communications should be possible, but remote exploits with them is complete BS...It shouldn't be too hard to capture these signals if regular computer mics are picking them up.

You can bet a lot of people's insurance policies will be damaged one way or another...higher rates or no coverage for earthquake damage.
Had profit.

Same here, likely, but I don't want my mouth to write checks that the car can't cash ;-)
You need 200hp to hit 140!? Mine can do it with 130hp, once you disable the speed limiter ;-)

Tough crowd...
If by "ruined" you mean "turned into a monster of savage acceleration and broke a number of records with."
Sure it's no longer exactly a lightweight, but still lighter than the lightest of your average production cars and certainly not "ruined."
Definitely less than 10, that would be the upper limit of the MPG you might get at those speeds.
Hey now, don't trivialize his achievement!

Much like the NSA!
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do learn from history are doomed to watch everyone else repeat it.
Pick up that can.
Now put it in the bin, no liquids on the plane!
Marathon runs obviously need an armed guard every 10 yards along the course. We have proof that terrorists see marathon runs as a target!
You joke, but...

You'd be right, if not for the fact that utilities pay laughably low prices for bought-back energy. Prices they can change at a whim.
They're in no danger of being bankrupted.
Doesn't matter; "Unabomber option" still exists, therefore Libertarians are satisfied.
Now the genocide and holodomor can safely continue indefinitely! Aren't we a nice species?
