its a supercar made by hyundai.

runs 1/4 mile in less than a second at 186,000miles/second.

 

LMAO @ The reply! Someone has a sick sense of humor... I can imagine the kid that asked the question now.. "Have you guys heard of the Hyundai Mach 1?' It does like 200,000mph!"

 

Correct me if im wrong, which i don't think i am, but the term "Mach 1" actually means an object such as an airplane traveling the speed of sound?

So the dudes teacher isn't that far off.

 

Yeah.. it refers to a certain speed.

Here's a page that explains it: http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/mach.html

Not quite as fast as his teacher said.. but over 760 mph.

 

OR over 1225 kilometers per hour!
(Everything sounds so much more impressive in metric units)

 

ROFL!!! that is awesome!
i love messing with people!
