Could it be certain point in which Horsepower is achieved?
Or a certain 1/4 mile time?
How about destroying a certain % of cars on the road?
A personal goal?


When you think of your car being fast what defines that?

ok from my point of view and from what mac says


there is only one fast car.

mclaren f1

fastest  production car in the world

top speed, power to weight, 1/4, destroys all cars, etc.

McLaren F1 is by no means THE fastest car

1. 433 kph / 269.1 mph 1938 Mercedes-Benz W125 Record
2.409.9 kph / 254.7 mph 1988 Chevrolet Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette
3. 406 kph / 252.3 mph 2002 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron
4.403 kph / 250.4 mph 2001 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron Concept
5. 402.3 kph / 250.0 mph 1994 Dauer 962 LeMans

1. 2.6 seconds 1994 Dauer 962 LeMans
2. 2.7 seconds 2000 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Concept
3. 2.7 seconds 2000 Dodge Hennessey Viper Venom 800TT
4. 2.7 seconds 1999 Leblanc Caroline
5. 2.8 seconds 1995 Renault Espace F1 Concept

As far as 1/4 mile or power to weight I'm sure that some cars beat it too

Check it for yourself

Supercars.net

ok andason so are these PRODUCTION cars that you can buy off of the showroom floor and perform these numbers right when you drive it off the lot??


yea thought not.


and those 2 second times...what are those for?? 0-60 mph??
