Good point. But actually, what does it really matter? You'll never hit those kinds of speeds on a public road. The better performance stats are the 1/4 mile, 0-60, 60-0, skidpad... those kinds of real world performance capabilities. When it comes to testing top speed, there are two types. Actual and theoritical. I know that the Saleen S7 is the fastest car ever built in the United States and theoritically can do 223mph (drag and gearing limited). The Ferrari Enzo can do 209mph at redline 6th gear. Again, that's theoritical. Gearing and drag limited, the McLaren F1 can supposedly do 231mph. The fastest production street legal car (that I could find, and again, just in theory) is the Vector Avtech. As for actual tests... I believe the Jaguar XJ220, the McLaren F1, Ferrari F50, and Saleen S7 rate very high up there, but am not sure which is the victor. -Ducky

Be careful dude, at triple digit speeds, even the smallest mistakes can be deadly.

in the words of a SCC writer "At these speeds an accident will inbed your teeth 300 feet away from your testicles." Translation? Dont go that focking fast! I would be scared to go that fast.....I guess that i am just saying that though because now 132 is fine for me.

I think the McLaren F1 is the fastest top speed production car (Around 230mph).
*If the Bugatti isnt in production.*

All those cars could break 200 easy...
it's not theory... they do calculate it via the gear ratio's but it has the power to make it up there and they usually are VERY aerodynamically sound cars. car&driver tv just took the enso to the ford or chevy proving grounds and hit over 200... I'm sure the mcclaren has been tested to it's limits... I used to have a video of a ruf porsche doing over 200 or so on the autobahn... passing traffic... my buddy still has it I think it may be on kaaza or bear share too. And yes I know what you're thinking.... the guages are ruf guages in MPH NOT kph.

OK, so the question is actually "what's the highest top speed of a currently street-legal production car"? Otherwise, it's one of those land racers that does 700 mph +. The Bugatti isn't production or street-legal yet. The McLaren is tested faster than the enzo or f50. I thought I read somewhere, however, that the '88 TT Callaway Sledgehammer pushed 250 mph top speed on a couple of runs. |

You guys are talking about so many different things it's crazy.
The fastest (top speed) PRODUCTION car is the Mclaren F1, 231 mph. No questions about that. I've read a 200 page book just about the production of the car, AWESOME!! If you guys want to talk about Conecept cars, LeMans, or project cars then that's a totally different story.

Id be very interested to know the top speed of the highest-hp supra. Some of these guys run 1000hp to the rear wheels. Granted I know its not a "production" car, still id like to know.

the fastest car is that nova that the dude strapped a jet engine to and flew into a mountain............
Highlander.. yes we all know your a spoiled rich kid and your parents bought you a $30k car....but is it necessary to have a 800x600 desktop wallpaper of it in your signature? or do you not know how to use photoshop or paintshop pro to resize it? |

Lets not get into this again, lets leave Highlander alone.
 But I agree, the sig picture is obnoxiously large. Could you please shrink it down some? Its a nice picture, but kinda annoying.

you are absolutely 110% full of shit, the sledgehammer was a joint between callaway and lingenfelter. callaway did the body and lingenfelter did the drivetrain for him. it is a one-of-a-kind. only one and not another. sold to a japanese collector for around $500,000 american dollars. 880 hp at the tires, TT 350 chevy built to a 383 and a doug nash 4+3 trans (i think the trans is correct, age and alcohol does bad things to a memory). torque numbers i dont know, and it did 254mph on a superspeedway track, was so street docile that they said that you could send your mom to the grocery store in it. in order to get the car up to 250 they had to fashion ducts for the turbos for more air, at the high speeds the aerodynamics sucked air out to the vents so the turbos were not getting sufficent air. anything else? oh yeah and it was not a zr-1--i think thats what you are thinking about. |
