ok so everyone always sees what the manufacturers say the performance is, but you rarely see people actually test it.

253 mph is pretty damn fast

it's a little melodramatic, but pretty sweet

If you wanna go 253 mph, why would you waste your money on that?

In 1990 John Lingenfelter designed a Corvette for Callaway that held 254 mph continuously and they drove the car to and from the track ... not trailered at all. And if I remeber, the cost of them building that vette was $300,000 in 1990 ... but that included ALL research and testing as well. Case in point, LPE builds 225mph vetts day in day out right now for about $150,000 including the price of the vette, and those vettes have pretty short gearing I understand ....

I mean that's kind of one of those "Oohhhh and ahhhh" cars but personally I'd rather take the up-and-coming 2008 Viper SRT-10 over that thing.

how about 220mph in 24 seconds?
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/22d5115...8fe000ab68f.htm

Cars like the Lingenfelter and Hennessey cars might be faster but do you think the ride at 250mph is the same as a Bugatti? I still think its kind of stupid because when are you ever going to be on a road or track that has that much room?


f40 is still the coolest car ever
