Well that's great for a car filled with concrete. I prefer SQ over one big loud burp of sound but that is an amazing number.

normal glass, maybe. But these cars are super reinforced with plexiglass, steel brackets, concrete, etc ... at this point, it's simply a physics competition, a big science project on wheels.
