743 km/h From Every Angle
We hate to be the ones to tell you this, but there's a scant chance most of us will ever exceed 320 km/h here on planet Earth.

Sure, you can hop in a commercial jet liner and easily best that figure in the comfort of coach, but its not quite the same as skimming along mere inches from the ground in an hurling ball of aluminum, glass and fury. Maybe that's what makes the Speed Demon's latest run on the salt so impressive. As you may recall, the team behind this particular Streamliner recently pulled off a running mile of 685 km/h.

They recently headed back out to try their hand at another pass, and the result was a standing mile of 737 km/h with an exit speed of 744 km/h. This time, the crew strapped enough ReplayXD cameras to the Streamliner to catch every aspect of the high-speed run, and the finished video gives us a pretty good idea of what it's like to clip along at ludicrous speed.
