Tempered glass (7/32") holds up incredibly. Back glass popping out would be relative to the bonding to the body, modern cars are bonded in with autoglass polyurethane, 220 psi when properly bonded. Butyl tape like 8 to 12 psi (goes lower when its hotter, liquifies)

Interesting bout the air pressure; you are displacing so much air, so it creates more pressure inside the cab, i would think it creates a vacuum. Its an airline equation right?

Bout the hp chart, with the 3:50 and sixth gear, 243 with 685 rwhp, its only in theory, the Veyron, aero'd, 1100 horsyish, does 250. I read somewhere once where it takes an additional 100 hp +/- to increase 10 mph or so above 200, think about how much the air compresses and how it exponentially corrects itself. SIMPLY AWESOME!!!!!

Did i spy the Finchmobile on the side in the run down?
