World's Fastest: 270.49 mph Hennessey Venom GT
 

:fuckyea:

saw thread title, clicked thinking it would be a timpo thread called : "Worlds fastest: 270.49mph GTR"

i find it sad that companies wont let other companies test their cars on the same track under the same conditions. it would be a better comparison.

i assume this set the record for the fastest production car?

i know of highly modified street legal ford gt's doing 270 mph in a standing mile.

Lame.
you not funny.

it's not a production car
i'm guessing they further tweaked things to be testing this car now...wasn't it released few years ago?

Was pretty scared going half that in my friend's car... holy jesus.

.01 more and they could have rounded up to 271...:okay:

should have just rounded down to an even 270

Not a world record. It's not a production car and isn't even street legal (emissions legal).

Plus they left out the fact it only went fast one-way. To even qualify for a world record you need to perform back-to-back runs in each direction.

Not trying to bash Americans (I actually like the US), but why do so many of them alter rules just so they can claim a record? Most recent example is the US ranking countries by total medals when everyone else ranks by Gold medals.

Plus it's Hennessey, a company that I'm amazed is still in business.
