V. Barbarino Posted December 19 Report Share Posted December 19 There are two cars that are not on this list which would be near the top or the very top.. Saleen S7 twin turbo and the new zo6 which ran some of the fastest times ever at the ring and beat the Ford GT in motor trends latest edition...The zonda is not us street legal, in fact a lot of these are not street legal in the us but the z06 and the saleen are...

The only exception is the Saleen S7, which we strongly suspect can achieve its sixth-gear redline at 223 mph, especially in the later turbocharged form.from: http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=19&article_id=10108&page_number=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V. Barbarino Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 I personaly think in todays world of near perfect cars, the 0 to 150 back to o time is the truest test of any car in terms of power and balance, then toss her into the curves and you now have a real idea how they stack up..

240turbo Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 It took 14 years for a car to break the Mclaren F1's top speed record. Now that's some serious engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V. Barbarino Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 McClaren's top speed is bogus, they never did it in the US and they never did it opposite ways, they refused to give the car to the us mags for testing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oni1414777741 Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Nick, i dunno if it has ever ocurred to you but.......the rest of the world really is much bigger than the US.Why would it matter if it is street legal or has been tested in the US? Do you think US soil contains some kind of magical properties that would cause a car to run better or poorer here? Face it - european motorists have traditionally been more adequate in testing these vehicles due to various reasons including better testing facilities, whether natural or man made.

Don't ever expect anyhting else from Nick. The typical American does not seem to know or even care that there is a world outside of the US. Ignorance in it's purest form.

Guest durrtylexx Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 not a production car, but dayum she's beautiful.Fastest Car: SSC Ultimate Aero Base price: $654,500 Faster than even the Veyron, the Ultimate Aero by small American manufacturer SSC has a top speed of 260 to 273 mph, according to Langley wind-tunnel calculations. It achieves such ridiculous performance with a 1,046-horsepower V-8 engine (yes, you read that hp figure correctly), which is shoehorned into a car that weighs as much as a Dodge Neon.

V. Barbarino Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 The fastest street legal car every tested by the us mags is the lingerfelter corvette, mcclaren refused to allow the us mags to test their car, because they knew the numbers were bogus.. Top speed tests require a pass in both directions within one hour and they avg the speed of both passes, go google the controversy of the land speed record... The guy who first did it, is not the offical holder of the record..http://www.fastcoolcars.com/callaway_sledgehammer.htmEnjoy the read, you can buy that car and drive it on the US roads all legal and it will crush the mcclaren and it's a cheaply made vette from 1984!Taste of the Lingenfelterhttp://www.miamiracing.com/movies/120203.movie04.mpegYou guys are ignorant, that list from that euro trash show is missing so many great american street legal cars.. to name a few...callway vettetnt viperlingenfelter vettesaleen s7 twin turbonew viper GTSnew ford mustang cobranew z06 which RAN THE 6TH FASTEST TIME EVER AT THE RING IN GERMANY!btw, top 3 places for testing cars..1. germany autobann2. middle east desert3. arizona http://www.lingenfelter.com/documents/CF427TT_eprint.pdfTime times you'll see in the next link, were done by motor trend..http://www.fast-autos.net/lingenfelter/lingenfelter650tt.htmlAny real car guy knows, if you want to go fast you buy a vette made by lingenfelter.

That's wind tunnel testing. Not actual testing. I doubt that car can acheive those speeds with that amount of horsepower. I 'd like to know the drag coefficient of that car.
