[QUOTE="CCO, post: 63503, member: 970"] Good point Riley and this explains some of the answer: [url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2566620/Supercar-worlds-fastest-street-vehicle-reaching-speed-270mph.html]Hennessey's Venom GT becomes the world's fastest car after reaching a top speed of 270mph | Mail Online[/url] Altho it was a verified top speed, it must be backed up by another run to make it a world record....so for now the Bugatti Veyron has the official world record top speed until Hennessey can arrange a longer runway to make both runs. -- and the test driver: Brian Smith feels that there is more to be had from the Venom GT -- possibly another "5-10 mph's"...... :D Apparently based on the Lotus Elise production car, Murray. Quite a thrill riding along at 270 mph. Makes me wonder what it would achieve with miles and miles of salt flats available at Bonneville.:D [/QUOTE]
