    I guess most brands will find a better ROI on anything else (and that includes cripto-mining).
    Other than giving a round number in imperial units (1000 miles/hour), it adds nothing of consequence.
    Much like the Blue Flame (which managed another round number in metric units - 1000 km/hour).
    At least, the Trust SCC broke something that actually exists (the speed o sound) as opposed to something as arbitrary as the arbitrary third power of the arbitrary base-10, arbitrary length units (miles/km) per arbitrary time units (hours)...
