"For sustained speed and freedom from trouble, the Ford has got every other car skinned," he wrote.
Few aircraft are currently capable of sustained speeds over Mach 2.
The vessel's specifications required a sustained speed of 13 knots.
The Soviet boat has fewer weapons but higher sustained speeds.
They can outrun sharks and other predators with blinding, sustained speed.
This included a sustained average speed of 17.9 knots for over 6 hours, single-handed.
The forecastle was raised, allowing higher sustained speed in heavy seas.
The work is expected to be completed by 2013, and will allow researchers to test sustained top speed over longer periods.
The four-barrel version, set up for sustained high speeds, had 390 hp.
He could hardly run one lap around the track with any sustained speed, Liu said.
