is this a statement of fact or what?

It is both a statement and a fact.

You should try it tho, disprove the statement and fact.

I remember back when Team gates hit 170, first time in the world, and everyone on the boards started these threads about how 170 would kill you too. Ruptured spleens, busted eye balls, no air to breath... all the same theories. So I sat in the Gates Bronco once when they burped it... Im still here. My spleen is fine too, in case anyone is concerned.

i have seen videos of cars in the upper 170's, and they had all kinds of reinforcement all over the windows and door panels.

To keep the truck from exploding from all that fatal pressure right? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
That bracing is to keep flexing to a minimum, to help keep pressure inside the vehicle at maximum levels.

Competition vehicles like that are reinforced with concrete and their windows are either removed or replaced with thick plexiglass in order to prevent them from flexing apart.

And you could not sit in a 180+ decibel vehicle while it's burping without damaging sensitive organs. And forget breathing while you're in there. For reference, The Apollo moon rocket engines didn't even achieve an SPL level of 180.

So how do the doors of an SPL vehicle like that not just rip off?

have you ever been to a competition with vehicles doing 165-170 or more? they are not just regular old car doors. most are filled solid with concrete or thick *** metal either way. They are bolted shut before each run. helps keep the pressure inside, not to stop it from blowing apart.

Can you provide anything that confirms that theory? Go shove a watermelon in your port and tell us what happens.

You think your eardrums could handle 180db without being damaged? Your lungs wouldn't be too happy with you either, as capillaries/alveoli could burst under the pressure. I'm not saying you'd get a heart attack or your liver would instantly fail or anything like that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I've seen a super-detailed db chart floating around somewhere. I'll see if I can find it later.
