negative, veyrons test speeds are already broken by the upgraded Saleen S7, 1000hp on 1330Kg, and 1/3 the price of the veyron, looks better too...

I dont think shes production yet.

Apparently, the Veyron holds a lot of composure at high speeds. And has a better interior than a Saeleen too.

*ugh* 1/3 the price *uch*

Re: Fastest Production Car Ever!
 
dont get me wrong, i do like the S7 better, but has anyone tested the Veyron's top speed with the speed limitation disabled?

you can only go so fast with production tires, unless your willing to spend $5k for each tire

Re: Fastest Production Car Ever!
 
Well, if you guys mean "total speed" then the Bugatti is king, however 0-60 time belongs to the Gumpert Apollo.

I love the Veyron, I think it is art on wheels. It might not be the best looking car, but the interior is superb!

Production cars Stalker. ;)

Street legal is an entire new realm, when you think of McLaren F1, Koeniggsegg (however the hell you spell it), and the Bugatti, they mean production and street-legal cars.

Also noticed this:
Quote:

The top speed of 254.76 MPH was attained by John Lingenfelter as the driver, and apparently was not an official documented recorded speed.


So, maybe it is, but since it wasn't recorded, it doesn't hold any validity.

One of the major problems with the Veyron development was the tires not being able to cope with uber-speeds. That been sorted, and I think the stockos can cope.

Are those figures what manufacturers claim, or what has been tested by an outsider?

tested ones

Re: Fastest Production Car Ever!
 
The bugatti Veyron plain sucks why would someone want to drive a 4200lb car at 250mph but if they got rid of the luxuries and make it weigh 3800lbs then it would be the ultimate supercar. Since 5-10 people in the world would want one/ can afford one its almost not even a production car.

Since when was the McLaren F1 passed up as the fastest production car?

the Mcleran was passed up like a year ago by the Koenzeg (or whatever it is)

Dursk March 30th, 2006 09:16 PM

REally!!

Anyone know by how much? The McLaren was a beauty...One of kind.

I know Mclaren has moved on...but what a pitty.

Jackthehammer March 31st, 2006 02:35 AM

Re: Fastest Production Car Ever!
 
naw, Mclaren was passed a FEW years ago, by the TVR Carbarra Speed 12, with its 7 Liter V12.. The Enzo, quite logical.. and the Koenigsegg CCR..
I agree with Saquist though, the Mclaren is a one of a kind, and one of the few TRUE supercars IMO, along with the XJ220..

maybe a stupid question but is that made after the Viper? it looks like a lowered Viper with smaller wheels, a shortened top and a body piece missing around the rear lights

Strelok16 March 31st, 2006 07:54 PM

Re: Fastest Production Car Ever!
 
I thought of that too, especially because of the long hood and doors.

i highly doubt they have anything to do with each other though, they probably just look very similar

Jackthehammer April 1st, 2006 01:37 AM

Re: Fastest Production Car Ever!
 
its a TVR sheep, they all look like that, and tbh, I kinda like it, ugly cool in its own way.. and very very fast with that enormous V12 and no bodyweight..

http://www.motorcities.com/media/ima...lver-A-640.jpg

the vette on that list is awesome too indeed, 1.97 sec... :naughty:

the stock 2006 ZO6 LS7 Corvette has a top speed of 198MPH (according to Top Gear) 0-60 in 3.7sec, thats a tad better than the Viper and $20,000 cheaper ($66,000), you should look up Top Gears review of the ZO6, they loved it, aside from its standard US plastic interior

Re: Fastest Production Car Ever!
 
except if you had to choose beetween the Viper and the Vette, the Vette may perform better, but you would also have to consider the coolness factor of the Viper. i mean, the thing is just completely badass:

When you look at Viper, you know it wants to punch you in the face and rip your balls off.
Vette doesnt do that.

They also loved the Mustang, the Caddy CTSV, the Chrysler 300C, and the Viper.. but they are all too plastic inside.. well, yeah, thats american, you cant compare a Viper to a DB9.. But they love m all..

I quote Jeremy Clarkson in the Viper: "Its as stupid, and as wonderful, as owning a pet elephant.
