At this speed, approaching the speed of sound, the driver had to maintain a firm and steady grip on the vehicle.

Even at this point, he was going faster than any other man has ever done in a land vehicle. Because of the way it was constructed with the rear wheels being staggered, it would tend to pull to the left. Once speeds of around miles per hour were being reached it would be pulling very hard to the left with Andrew Green having to hold the steering wheel at a crazy degree angle. It boggles the mind how they would have designed it like that. It seems like a design flaw and an accident waiting to happen any accident at these speeds would only be catastrophic.

But still, no accident happened, and Andrew Green was able to control it. Speaking of the supersonic boom, Anthony Green stated that it was the "loudest, highest pitch scream I've ever heard". Once the Thrust SSC reached mph and the car started to go fully supersonic, the car also started to go perfectly straight without any pulling to the side.

As the car started to decelerate, it set the dashboard alight with warning signals due to the g-force effect of such rapid deceleration. The oil lights all came on as the oil was thrown to the front of the engine and the fuel light started blinking.

Deceleration was at 1 g or over 20 miles per second and not so far from the rate at which the Thrust SSC accelerated. Once the Thrust SSC had decelerated to around miles per hour, the parachute was deployed. The inertia of a ton car speeding forward at mph is immense.

To counteract that inertia, the parachute at those speeds generated around or tons of drag. At around miles per hour, the engines were shut off. When the Thrust SSC was traveling at blazing speeds it was well ahead of the massive dust clouds it was kicking up. I was forced to live full time in an RV to survive.
