I think that most land speed record cars aren't based on any thoughts of a
commercial return.
It's about innovation. Achievement. Not investment.
I suspect if you emailed that guy, and asked him where he got the selling
price from;
it would actually be a formula like: (what I paid for things I bought),
plus (the cost of other stuff I had),
plus (the hours I worked on this project for the last 10 years) @ $5 per hour.
Seriously.
I know nothing about this project other than what I've learnt reading this,
and following links. This guy is an innovator. He could well be a genius. But
don't bag his price. Follow the links. The closest contender car/ boat device
sells vehicle promoted as a $200k plus "chick magnet"!!
